How is the best way of correcting when a transaction that I had cleared was changed after the fact?

Hi, firstchurchinmc. I'm here to ensure your QuickBooks ending balance matches your bank statement at the end of a reconciliation.

You can mess up a reconciliation in different potential ways. One of these is voiding the transaction that has already been cleared or reconciled. Doing so will change the amount to zero and mess up your reconciliation.

Since we don't have a direct way to reinstate a voided transaction, you can open and view the information from the Audit log to re-enter the transaction manually. I also recommend consulting with your accountant before performing any of these. They can help you decide or provide another method according to your situation.

Once done, let's review your ending balance. Make sure you entered the correct amount from your bank statement. You can do so by following these steps:

1. While reconciling an account, in the Reconciliation window, click Edit info.
2. Review the Ending balance and Ending date.
3. Check your bank statement. Make edits as needed.
4. When done, select Save.
