Summary

How to undo a bank reconciliation in Sage 50 Accounts if you ever make a mistake when reconciling your bank account.

Resolution

When reconciling your bank accounts, you can reconcile one or more bank transactions in error. If this happens, you can undo the bank reconciliation.

There are three different ways to do this:

Restore a backup

If you have the backup from before you reconciled, and can restore it which completely reverses your bank reconciliation. 

Remove the reconciliation flag on transactions

If you don't have a backup, or restoring is impractical, manually remove the bank reconciliation flag from each transaction.

  1. On the navigation bar go to Transactions, select the required transaction then click Edit.
  2. Clear the Bank rec. on check box, click Save then click Yes.

We recommend removing any .pdf files that are linked to the bank reconciliation you're removing:

  1. On the navigation bar, go to Bank accounts.
  2. Double-click the required bank account then select Memo.
  3. Double-click Statements.
  4. Right-click the statement you want to remove, then click Delete.
  5. Click Save, then Close.

Reverse the bank reconciliation

To reverse your reconciliations to a specific point rather than amending individual transactions, you can use the Reverse a reconciliation option.
