Invoice date change after reconcilation

Finco

I changed the date on a supplier invoice after I reconcilled that month. The date I changed it to was still within the same month. Is this going to affect anything. (Changed it back after I realised)

Hi @Finco 

 

Generally speaking, changes to reconciled transactions shouldn't affect past reconciliations of that account. Typically, deleting reconciled transactions causes the most problems. So, in theory, you should be good as you have just updated the ID number of the transaction.

 

Having said that, below is a quick check you can do to make sure that past reconciliations are not affected:

1. Go to Banking>>Reconcile Accounts
2. Select the desired bank account
3. Enter the Last Reconciled Date in the Bank Statement Date field.
4. Enter in the Last Closing Statement Balance i.e. on that Last Reconciled Date
5. Ensure no transactions are ticked in the Cleared transactions section
6. Does the Out of Balance show zero?

If that out of balance shows zero then you are good to go. If that out of balance is showing a value, I would take a look at Help Article: Resolving out of balance bank reconciliations - but generally it is a processing of seeing the transaction in the list of cleared transactions and re-ticking it to include it in the next reconciliation.
