Question
I edited transactions in my checking account register, didn't like the result, so I restored to a week earlier, but the changes I made were still in the account!
I backed up my company because I wanted to re-categorize about 1000 bank transfers as either 'Sales' or 'Refunds' and also delete about 3000 sales receipts to make my books more accurate. So I unlinked the transactions from my checking account and re-categorized them, essentially re-importing them but assigning them to either sales or refunds. But it got messy, so I decided to revert to an older state before I made those changes. But when I restored to a week before making the changes, the checking register in the restored version had kept all the re-categorized transactions, which made my checking register off by about $1.5M, and my reconciled checking account was no longer reconciled. It's a total mess! My understanding of a restore is that it will return the books to the way the were at that time, but that is not what happened. What am I missing? Please help!
