I deactivated a checking sub account in chart of accounts. It put a journal entry into my main checking account. Please say I can reverse this so that the data is saved?

You can restore the inactive sub-accounts to cancel out the journal entry made in the main checking account, 4animalwellness. I will assist you through the steps to resolve this in QuickBooks.

Before making an account inactive, ensure its balance is zero as QuickBooks Online will generate an entry to adjust the amount. To reactivate the inactive account, click the Make active option in the Action column.

If you’ve restored a deleted account with a non-zero balance, you can delete the automatic adjustment entry made by QuickBooks. This will correct the account balance that was deleted before.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon⚙ and select Chart of accounts.
2. Find the restored account, then in the Action column, select View Register.
3. Find the transaction with the memo Created by QB Online to adjust the balance for deletion. It should be the last entry in the register.
   
   
4. Select the entry, then Delete.
   
   
5. Click Yes to confirm deletion.
