Question

Go back to prior bank rec

I went back in receivables and corrected some errors. Now my beginning cash balance is way off.  It would be easier to just re do my prior three months bank reconciliations.  Do I just delete the check mark between the deposit column and payment column to get back to where the bank balance was correct?  Will the bank rec stqart me at the month I stop?

I'm here to ensure your books are accurate, mforest.

 

Let's run the discrepancy report. This helps us find the transactions giving you problems. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Reports, then select Banking, and then Reconciliation Discrepancy.
  2. Select the Account, and then select OK.
  3. You'll have a list of transactions that changed since your last reconciliation. Use this report to identify the transaction(s) causing the issue.
  4. If you find a discrepancy, note the transaction date and the Entered/Last Modified, which will tell you when the change happened.

 

To correct the discrepancy, you'll need to undo a previous reconciliation and redo it. For the detailed steps, please see these steps: 

 

  1. Back up your QuickBooks company file.
  2. Go to Banking, and then Reconcile.
  3. Select Undo Last Reconciliation.
  4. When prompted, select Continue and then OK.
  5. Close out of reconciliation and open it again.

 

For more details, please see this article: Fix beginning balance issues in QuickBooks Desktop.


Once done, reconcile the previous transactions.

 

If you need to review a reconciliation report later on, please see these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu, then select Reports Center.
  2. Search and open a Previous Reconciliation report.
  3. Select the account you reconciled, then either DetailSummary, or Both.

 

Please keep us posted if you need additional assistance reconciling your account. We're always here to help.

Hello, thank you for your answer.  I ran the reconciliation discrepancy and I have many deposits that have been deleted.  My receivables balance, so how do I go about entering these deleted deposits without affecting the receivables?
