I need to manually mark a bank transaction for an already reconciled month to reconciled status.

i was having problems with an automatic transfer from paypal to our checking account. i had to delete a transfer transaction and manually reenter it. but i did this after the month that contained the transaction had been reconciled. (the transaction that i deleted did have an "R" status. how can i change the status of this new manually entered transaction to "R" status (reconciled). the fact that is showing as unreconciled is now causing me a beginning balance error when i try to reconcile the following month.

thanks

Hello there, chic316860.

 

I'm here to help you mark the transaction you've recreated as reconciled in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Upon recreating a transaction, it will reappear in your register. Subsequently, you can manually reconcile it by placing R status in the Reconcile (✓) column. The process for doing this is fairly swift and straightforward.

 

Let me show you how:

 

  1. In QBO, go to the Accounting menu on the left pane.
  2. Proceed to the Chart of Accounts.
  3. Locate the bank account in question, then click View register and look for the recreated transaction.
  4. Under the Reconcile (✓) column, click on the blank field to mark the transactions as reconciled (R).
  5. Hit Save and select Yes to confirm.

 

After completing this, your starting balance should display the accurate amount. For additional assistance on manually reconciling bank transactions and removing their reconciled status, you can consult this article: Undo or remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once done, you can now proceed with the reconciliation process. Refer to this article for future reference: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please leave a comment below if you have additional questions about reconciliation or anything else, chic316860. I'll be here to assist. Keep safe.
