Question

Undo Matched Transaction from Bank feeds

Hello,

 

I accidently matched a deposit to the wrong transaction after hitting confirm match which takes it to the use register and reconciles it. It is showing as reconciled in the use register, how do I undo this to match the deposit to the correct customer? Will it still show up in unrecognized after I undo it? 

 

Thanks!

Thank you for bringing this up, @JoNguyen. It's quite common to mistakenly match a deposit to the wrong transaction, but don't worry I'm here to assist you in resolving it.

 

Currently, QuickBooks Desktop does not have an undo button. If you want to recategorize a transaction, you can edit it in the register. Alternatively, if you wish to remove the transaction, you will need to delete it entirely, which means it will be permanently removed from your records.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select Lists from the top menu bar.
  2. Choose Chart of Accounts.
  3. Select the appropriate bank account.
  4. Search the transaction, and click it.
  5. Edit the transaction.
  6. Hit Save & Close.

 

You can use the following steps to delete the transaction if you want to remove it:

 

  1. Select Lists from the top menu bar.
  2. Choose Chart of Accounts.
  3. Select the appropriate bank account.
  4. Search the transaction, and click it.
  5. Click the Delete (X) button.
  6. Hit OK to confirm.

 

I've included an article to help you manage bank transactions in QBDT, which allows for quick review and categorization of multiple transactions from bank feeds, speeding up the reconciliation process: Add and match Bank Feed transactions.

 

Reconciliation also helps ensure that your financial records are accurate by comparing your QuickBooks transactions with your bank statements. This process helps identify discrepancies and errors.

 

In conclusion, I encourage you to follow these steps to manage your transactions effectively in QuickBooks Desktop. By regularly recategorizing or removing entries and utilizing the article on bank feeds, you can streamline your reconciliation process.
