Register help

I accidentally deleted a withdraw from the Register and now I'm not sure how to fix it?  There is a discrepancy now that I am unsure how to fix?  Please help.

 

 

There's a discrepancy because at least one transaction was changed or deleted after it was reconciled.

Look at each transaction to see what happened. Fix each one until the total discrepancy difference equals $0.00. If a transaction was deleted or if it was reconciled or unreconciled in the register, there are some special steps you need to take.

Thanks for checking in with us. Deleted transactions shouldn't be a worry for you, WW24.

 

We can re-enter the deleted transaction and re-reconcile it. This process is called mini reconciliation or special reconciliation method that uses an "off-cycle" reconciliation date to correct. This assumes you know the ending balance from the most recent reconciliation. Get this information before you start. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu and select Reconcile.
  2. Choose the bank account with the transactions you need to reconcile.
  3. In the Date of Statement field, enter the date for an "off-cycle reconciliation." This date can be any date between your last reconciliation and the next scheduled one.
  4. In the Ending Balance field, enter the balance of your last successful reconciliation. Then select Continue.
  5. In the Reconcile window, check off the transactions you are fixing and re-reconciling.
  6. Make sure the Difference field shows $0.00.
  7. When everything looks good, select Reconcile Now.

 

When you enter an "off-cycle" date, QuickBooks will remind you that you're doing a mini reconciliation. This puts previously unreconciled transactions back without affecting the "cycle" that they follow. If this transaction was downloaded from your bank, you can simply go back to the online banking section and add it again. You can check out this article for more details: Reconcile previously deleted and re-entered checking or credit card transactions.
