Delete bank transactions
Description

You can delete most bank transactions, including cleared and reconciled transactions.

There are some exceptions:

When you delete a transaction, Sage Accounting removes it from your bank account and updates your balance. 

CAUTION:

Deleting cleared or reconciled transactions means your bank reconciliation may no longer match your bank statement.

When you delete a reconciled transaction:

  • It shows as Removed from reconciliation
  • Sage Accounting updates the starting balance for your next reconciliation
  • Sage Accounting doesn't change the reconciled balance

This behaviour keeps your reconciliation history accurate while reflecting the correction.

EXAMPLE:

If you delete a duplicate reconciled payment, Sage updates your next starting balance so it matches your bank statement.
