In the meantime, let’s begin by opening the register so we can remove the check. This will show you that the previously-reconciled transaction has now been changed to “Cleared” or “Open”.

You also want to do a «special reconciliation» for this process. This method uses an «off-cycle» reconciliation date to correct it. It will always stay in your records even if you redo your reconciliaton for a particular month. Since you manually unreconciled your transactions, you can go to the Accounting tab, choose Reconcile, and start your reconciliation from January 2020. Actually, that process would not work in this case.

Further, as mentioned previously, only accountants can undo the entire reported daily contract rates period. From here, you can enter your accountant’s information and save the changes.

The average QBO user is allowed to edit, delete or otherwise mess with any transaction they want…even transactions in historical Financial Periods.
