Hello everyone, I need your expert help please. I am bookkeeping for one small non profit and enter check request so the people there can print it after. 

I am working on the bank reconciliation and the check numbers show un in the Bank > Reconcile are different than the check numbers cashed in bank statement. This happened just the past three months. I only noticed it now as we are catching up with bank recs. 

 

What have happened? How can i prevent this from happening? What can i do it fix it? I tried to change the check number to the same one shown in the bank account but it would be duplicated with others. 

 

What a night mare!

 

I appreciate your quick response

Let's find out if the check you're referring to is the same check that was cashed, hnle191.

 

There are times we mistakenly identify both the check number during the reconciliation against the actual check on the statement. We can try comparing both if the details and amount are the same to make sure that we're looking at the correct checks.  You'll want to run the Check Detail report so you can compare based on the details such as the name, account, and amount. 

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu on the upper part. 
  2. Select Banking, then choose Check Detail. 
  3. Make sure to provide the correct dates.

 

Once done, compare them to the list of checks on your bank statement. If there is an incorrect check number on the report, you can click the transactions itself and edit it. Otherwise, you can contact your bank if the check in question is the actual check. 

 

Furthermore, in case you need information from your past reconciliation to fix your current reconciliation, I've added this article for your guide: Get Reports For Previous Reconciliations In QuickBooks Desktop.
