I deleted 2 items from 2018. I need to rectify this to reconcile August 2023. Can I do this by General Journal Entry?

Hi there. I appreciate you for providing detailed information about your concern. Let me share another way to reconcile your account with the deleted transactions. 

Yes, you can create a General Journal Entry that includes the details of the deleted items, such as their names, amounts, and relevant accounts. By entering this information in the General Journal Entry, you can accurately reflect the impact of these items on your records and reconcile your accounts for August 2023.

But if you are not familiar with the debits and credits. I recommend consulting with a professional accountant or bookkeeper to ensure that the General Journal Entry is prepared correctly and by your specific accounting practices and regulations. 

Moreover, once you're ready to reconcile, you'll need to manually change the reconciliation status to R. 

On the other hand, you can manually recreate the transactions one at a time. You can use the same information from the Audit Log report such as transaction date, item or accounts used, payee or customer's name, and amount.
