The steps to change or correct a bank reconciliation are available in the Chart of Accounts section, @paulsonmichaelj.

 

You can manually undo the reconciliation of the incorrect deposit and check amounts and correct them. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Transactions.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Look for the bank account in the Search field.
  4. Once you see it, click View Register below the Action column.
  5. Choose and tick the deposits and checks that have the incorrect amount.
  6. In the Checkmark column that has the "R" (Reconciled) symbol, click the sign until nothing shows to undo.
  7. You can modify the amount to the right one and save it. Or move to Edit so you will be routed to the origin of the transaction. Before that, you will need to pick Yes to the prompt message.


  8. If you're in the check or deposit transaction, change the Payment date, Amount, etc, if needed.
  9. Then, Save and Close.

 

Keep in mind that if you want to undo reconciliation in batch, you'll need to contact your accountant, since they have special access to do it. It's also worth noting that they can further guide you with this task since it involves reconciled transactions that might damage your books' balance.

 

Next, you'll want to streamline the processes of reconciling and matching your transactions. Feel free to reach out to the QuickBooks Live Expert Assisted.
