We had a deposit transaction that was previously reconciled 2 months ago.  It was deleted and another transaction was created.  I found this out on the Reconciliation Discrepancy report.   My reconciliation is off by this amount now.  Can I do a right click reconcile on the transaction and fix everything?  If not how to I go about fixing this deleted and re-added transaction?

Good to see you here in the Community, @Nicolet31. I'll lay down a few steps to fix issues with transactions you've reconciled in the past. 

 

Since you need to modify those transactions, you'll want to do a mini-reconciliation that uses an "off-cycle" to make corrections. However, this needs professional advice from your accountant to ensure the best process to handle these amounts.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. From the Banking menu, select Reconcile.
  2. Choose the bank account with the transactions you need to reconcile.
  3. In the Date of Statement field, enter the date for an "off-cycle reconciliation." This can be any date between your last reconciliation and the next scheduled one.
  4. In the Ending Balance field, enter the balance of your last successful reconciliation. Then select Continue.
  5. From the Reconcile window, check off the transactions you are fixing and re-reconciling.
  6. Ensure the Difference field shows $0.00, then select Reconcile Now.

 

From there, QuickBooks asks if you want to Create a Payment Check or a Bill to Pay Later. You can follow this article with a detailed process: Reconcile previously deleted and re-entered checking or credit card transactions.

 

We have various reports in QuickBooks Desktop where you can review your past reconciliations: Get reports for previous reconciliations, which gives you details that can help you find discrepancies and other issues.
