I need to see an old bank reconciliation. Is there a way to view historical?

I have recently taken over the books for the company I work for. (God help us all! haha) I have a stale-dated cheque for a company named TNW from 01/30/2019. When I look at the vendor information list, everything looks fine. Bill in, Payment out. I see the transaction of $11.12. When I go to my online banking, I see a payment in the bank to TNW but the date is 01/28/2019 and the total is $11.63 (Which I do not have a bill for) So I am not sure how she reconciled the bank account and what transaction she used to balance. 

 

Thank you!

Hi Andre

 

I have tried everything. Nothing is bringing up that date.

This is my last entry to figure out before I send year end off and go home!! haha.

I am at a loss.


I found the solution:

 

Reports not available

SCENARIO: You are not able to view previous reconciliation reports and the report options and types are greyed out. This may be caused by a corrupted or damaged QuickBooks PDF converter when the previous reconciliation were done.

Solution 1: Ensure your version of QuickBooks is up to date.

Solution 2. View Previous Reconciliation Reports without displaying as a PDF file.

  1. From the Reports menu, click Banking > Previous Reconciliation.
  2. Under In this report, include section, click the Transactions cleared plus any changes made to those transactions since the reconciliation radio button.

 

CHOOSE OPTION TWO - Run the report and then click CUSTOMIZE REPORT and choose your dates.

Hi jbirston,

 

It's nice to hear from you again! It sounds like you have your hands full right now, but we're always happy to help. Reconciliation is an important part of keeping your books balanced, so it can be particularly troublesome to take over the books when you're unsure if things were done correctly before. Thankfully, it's simple to see historical reconciliations, and I can show you how.

 

It just takes a few easy steps to view historical reconciliations:

  1. Select the Reports menu from the top.
  2. Click on Banking then select Previous Reconciliations.
  3. Enter the appropriate Account and Date.

With this, I'm confident you're all set to sort out these books.

 

I'm here for you. Feel free to reach out anytime you have questions.

Hi Andre 
Thank you for your reply. I do not have a date option in my program. I am using QB's Pro 2020

I included a screenshot.

Hey jbirston,

 

Thank you for following up. That's certainly unusual. I've been able to test in my own systems, and the Statement Ending Date field should be displayed right beneath the account. Even if the account has never been reconciled. If you're able to click on the Display button to run the report, this is most likely caused by a minor display issue. Here's a couple images showing how this window would typically appear.

Account which has not been reconciled 

 

It's possible simply clicking Display will give you the required information, but check out this great article to learn how to fix display issues: Fix screen issues in QuickBooks Desktop

 

Let me know how this goes! I'm here for you if you need any more help.
