Summary
How to delete bank transactions entered or imported in error in Accounting Start.
Description
You can delete most bank transactions, including cleared and reconciled transactions.
There are some exceptions:
- You can't delete reconciled bank transfers or deposits. Reverse the bank transfer or deposit
- You can't delete transactions included in a draft or submitted VAT Return. Correct transactions included in a VAT Return
When you delete a transaction, Sage Accounting Start removes it from your bank account and updates your balance.
When you delete a reconciled transaction:
- It shows as Removed from reconciliation
- Sage Accounting Start updates the starting balance for your next reconciliation
- Sage Accounting Start doesn't change the reconciled balance
This behaviour keeps your reconciliation history accurate while reflecting the correction.
