How this works When deleting a bank transaction, we remove the transaction from your bank account in Sage Accounting. This also updates the bank balance.
Delete a bank transaction - From Banking, select the relevant bank account.
- Scroll down to the Activity tab.
- Amend the date range of the transactions if needed and click Search.
- Select the check box to the left of the transactions you want to delete. A toolbar now appears above the list.
 - From the toolbar, select the Delete
 icon. - Confirm by selecting Continue - delete this transaction.
Cleared transactions All transactions imported from a bank feed or statement receive a cleared check mark. This shows that the transaction is from your bank, and your bank balance reflects it. Reconciled transactions When you delete a reconciled transaction, it appears on your bank reconciliation with a Removed from reconciliation status. This shows in the Corrected Transaction column, to tell you it's now deleted. The Starting Balance of your next bank reconciliation changes by the amount of the deleted transaction. The Starting Balance is always the total value of all reconciled transactions up to the statement date. Sage doesn't update the Reconciled Balance. ▼ Follow an example - The closing balance from your last statement was £200.
 - You enter a payment for £100, and reconcile it. The reconciled balance is now £300.
 - After finishing the bank reconciliation, you realise that you entered the payment twice.
- You go to the bank activity and delete the duplicate transaction. Your bank balance is now £200.
- When you check the finished reconciliation, the deleted £100 shows a Removed from reconciliation status. The closing balance remains as £300.
 - When you start your next bank reconciliation, the Starting Balance is £200 and matches your bank statement.
 - Continue to reconcile as usual.
