Question

Can you "UNDO PREVIOUS RECONCILIATION" on checking account? From previous months. It was VERY easy in the desktop version and I can't figure out how to do it on QBO?

I appreciate you reaching out here in the Community. I understand that the reconciliation process in QuickBooks Online works differently compared to QuickBooks Desktop, and I'd be happy to guide you on how to undo a prior reconciliation.  

 

In QuickBooks Online, you can manually undo the reconciled transactions individually by going to your Chart of Accounts.

 

Here’s how:  

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts
  2. Locate the reconciled checking account you need to adjust. 
  3. Click View Register next to the account. 
  4. Find the transactions you'd like to unreconcile. 
  5. In the Check mark column, click the field and change the status from R (Reconciled) to blank to remove the reconciliation status from the transaction.
  6. Click Save once you've updated the status.

 

If you're working with an accountant and using QuickBooks Accountant, they can undo the entire reconciliation period for you. QuickBooks Online provides accountants with access to an Undo Reconciliation feature that allows complete reversal of reconciliations when needed.
