Reconciliation report mistake

On 30 June 2023, when I reconciled a bank account, I mistyped the date of reconciliation as 30 June 2026. Since then the entries from 22/06/2023 through to 30/06/2023 which were on that reconciliatio...

    From what you said, I deliberately created another reconciliation as at 30/06/2026 on the hopeful assumption that MYOB will pick up the other data which was reconciled at the same date.

     

    I backed up my data and made sure that the balance in my bank account on the date I was going to "mistakingly reconcile" again, which was 15/01/2024, was correct.

     

    I then printed the report on the mistaken "reconciled" day of 30/06/2026.

     

    I then pressed the "reconcile button".

     

    I effectively had two erroneous reconciliations for 30/06/2026, and I hoped that when I "unreconciled" the reports as of 30/06/2026, all the entries I needed to correct would come up.

     

    It worked. All the past records prior to 30/06/2023 came up.

     

    I then reconciled on 15/01/2024, and my problem has been solved. I now have a clean reconciliation.
