Question

In reviewing my year, I accidentally have an already reconciled deposit that is incorrectly listed as a transfer. Is there any way to correct this?

I believe because it is reconciled, it is currently greyed out, and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Hello there, @service31. Yes, there's another way to correct that.

 

We're unable to change a transfer transaction to another type of transaction. To fix this, you can manually delete the transfer from the register and recreate it. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Click Accounting from the left menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the bank account from the list and click View register.
  3. Locate and select the transfer transaction.
  4. Hit Delete, then choose Yes to confirm the changes.

 

Once done, recreate it by clicking the drop-down arrow from the Chart of Accounts (COA). Select appropriate type of transaction you want to create. 

 

Afterward, change the status of the transaction in the register back to for Reconciled. You can manually reconcile it by clicking the blank field repeatedly until you see the letter R.

 

On the other hand, if this transaction is coming from your bank feed, you can exclude and recreate it. Then, categorize or match.

 

I'd also recommend checking the articles below to get more tips about reconciling accounts every month. This way, you'll be able to detect discrepancies early and make sure your books are accurate.
