Unreconciling Individual Transactions
This approach is best when you’ve identified one or just a few transactions that were reconciled by mistake. It allows for targeted corrections without having to redo an entire reconciliation completely.
Step-by-Step
- Click the Settings gear icon in the top right corner of your QuickBooks Online dashboard and select “Chart of Accounts.“
- Find the bank or credit card account that contains the incorrect reconciliation and click “View register.“
- Scan the register for the transaction marked with an “R” in the checkmark column. This “R” signifies that it has been reconciled.
- Click the box containing the “R” repeatedly until it becomes blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
- Click the “Save” button to finalize the change.
