2019 Premier Nonprofit: I Deleted and restored a transfer, now the reconciling beginning balance is incorrect

Hello friends. Last fall, a cleared transfer between banking accounts from several years ago somehow got deleted. The deletion does show up in the discrepancy report.

Now my beginning balance for reconciling for both accounts is off by that amount, and I haven't been able to reconcile since the deletion.

I've duplicated the transfer, but the discrepancy remains. I have tried both clearing and removing the cleared status on the duplicated transfer, but the beginning balance does not change.

I only have access to my previous reconciliation, so I cannot go back to when the transfer was originally reconciled.

I thought I could figure this out on my own, but nothing has worked -- I need your help.

How can I fix this so I can get my reconciliation back on track?

Hi, Solar.

To fix beginning balance issues, you must find the transactions giving you problems by running the Reconcile Discrepancy report.

Here’s how:

Go to Reports, select Banking, then Reconciliation Discrepancy.
Select the Account and click OK to view transactions changed since your last reconciliation. Use this report to find the issue.
If you find a discrepancy, note the transaction date and the Entered/Last Modified date to see when the change occurred.

Once you identify the transaction causing the issue, correct the discrepancy using one of these options:

The steps above will ensure that you will be able to locate the transaction causing the issue and fix it promptly.
