Correcting an incorrect reconciled item - that should have been matched originally

Hi, I am new to Quickbooks Online. I reconciled a deposit and expense that I should have matched so these entries were duplicated on the bank register. In reconciling the bank statement, I ticked the deposit and expense that I had manually processed instead of the transactions already processed (via sales/accounts receivable and bill payment/accounts payable). I finished the reconciliation and noticed on the bank reconciliation report that while statement ending balance was correct, the register balance was out by these amounts which also reflected as uncleared items. I then deleted the deposit and made the expense void. When I go to reconcile, the pop up message says, the "Ýour account is not ready to reconcile yet" and the opening balance is out by the difference. Please can you you advise how I can correct this? Thank You so much.

Hello there, shanayoung1904.

 

Looks like you've deleted the duplicates after you've reconciled the account. You'll want to manually reconcile the correct transactions so your balances will post correctly. Let me show you how: 

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Look for the bank and select View register
  3. Locate the deposit first and select it. 
  4. Repeatedly click the field under the reconcile status column until it shows as R (reconciled).
  5. Click Save. Then, do the same thing for the deposits.

Keep me posted if there's anything else that you need help with. Have a great day!
