| Resolution | Customer or Vendor Changes - You can’t change the customer or vendor.
- Delete the transaction and enter a new receipt or payment with the correct customer or vendor.
Reconciled Bank Transfers or Deposits - You can’t edit these.
- Reverse the bank transfer or deposit to clear the value from the bank account.
Editing Transactions - The transaction stays reconciled if you change the Reference, Method, Ledger Account, or Date within the reconciled period.
- The transaction stays unreconciled if you change the Bank account, Amount, or Date to one beyond the reconciliation period.
- We add a Removed from reconciliation label to the Corrected Transaction column.
- We update the starting balance of your next reconciliation.
Follow an example - The closing balance was $1000.
- You put in a $500 payment and reconcile it, making both balances $500.
- The payment must be $400.
- You fix the payment, so the bank balance becomes $600, but the reconciled balance stays $500.
- The payment shows as Not reconciled.
- The completed reconciliation says Removed from reconciliation.
- You need to reconcile the edited payment to match the balances.
- The bank reconciliation page says Corrected.
- The starting balance is now $1000 after removing the $500 payment.
- Reconciling the edited payment updates the closing balance to $600.
You’re now ready to reconcile your next statement as usual. Audit trail and reports - When you edit a transaction, we reverse the original transaction and create a new one with a new transaction number.
- Only the new transaction shows on your reports.
