Question

How do I entire a bank error to account for a small discrepancy between calculated and actual balance in a bank reconciliation so I can balance the reconciliation?

It's nice to see you here in the QuickBooks Community, @dk-kolinsky-ca,

 

I want to make sure you're able to rule out the balance difference in your QuickBooks account.

 

The register balance in QuickBooks is supposed to match with the bank statement. If it shows a different balance, review and compare if there are missing transactions that is causing the understated figures. 

 

QuickBooks balance is composed of the transactions created or added in the program, while the bank statement is the total of transactions that were cleared in the bank. The key to a successful reconciliation is making sure the bank statement matches with the transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO). If you need adjustments, you can use a journal entry in QuickBooks, as long at it matches the statement.

 

Before doing so, check out this article to learn more about sorting out the balance difference with QuickBooks and your bank: How to Fix Differences Between QuickBooks Balance and Bank Balance.

 

For your reference, here are some reconciliation articles you can refer to:
