I have 2 separate bank checking accounts in my company chart of accounts. I manually entered over 150 checks into the wrong checking account. Is there a way to select all those checks and "move" them into the correct checking account?

Nope. You will have to edit the checking account on each check one at a time.

I have multiple checks in the wrong check register, you said you have to edit the checking account on each...

How do I change the checking account?

Can I open the check in the wrong register & choose the correct one? I don't see where to do that. Please help! Thanks!

Thank you for posting here in the Community, @LA605.

 

Yes, you can open the checks with the wrong account and assign them to the correct one. Let me guide you how.

 

As mentioned by a ProAdvisor above, you'll need to edit the checks manually, one at a time. For you to edit them, feel free to follow these steps:

  1. On the Home Page, click on Check Register.
  2. Select the check.
  3. Under the Bank Account drop-down, choose the correct account it should be posted in.
  4. Click on Save & Close.

Le me know if you have any other concerns. I'll be glad to help you.

Since the last answer in this thread it appears things may have changed, at least if you are using Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise or Accountant.

To change the account a batch of checks are drawn on, do the following:

Company | Accounting Tools | Reclassify Transactions

Set the date range to the appropriate interval
Set the View to Balance Sheet Accounts
Find the account where the checks are currently drawn from
Use the Name filter to help narrow down the transactions if possible or necessary
Select the checks that you want to change
Select "Account to:" and then select the account you want the checks to be drawn against
Click "Reclassify"
