Reconciling just one transaction

This is a question that I answer over and over again.  Sometimes you have to delete a deposit or a check that was already reconciled.  Many people think that means they have to undo their entire bank reconciliation and do it over.  This is not necessary.  You can make your change and just re-reconcile the one transaction, as follows:

First you make your changes.  In this case, I deleted two bill payment checks that were cleared by mistake.  When I went to reconcile I noticed the beginning balance is off.  So,  to see why my beginning balance is off, I run the reconciliation discrepancy report:  Click on any picture below to enlarge



 I know I need to recreate these two bill payments that I deleted in error.  I go to vendor>pay bills and recreate them.  Now, I go back to the bank reconciliation screen and re-reconcile just these two transactions.  Make sure you backup the dates of the bank rec one month so that you will be all set when you do your full bank reconciliation.


Then I just click reconcile now and close.  There is no need to print the bank reconciliation for just these two re-reconciled transactions. 

And that is basically it.  You have fixed your mistake of deleting a cleared transaction.
