Bank Reconciliations


Is there an easier way to reverse Bank reconciliations on Sage without having to go through every single item unticking the box. I wasted the best part of two hours at a new clients doing this as they had done previous reconciliations incorrectly and I needed to find where they'd gone wrong, so it was easier to reverse the ones they'd done and start again.

When it's all gone wrong, I often found it's easier to do it the old fashioned way. Print out the bank account transaction history, photocopy the bank statements, and tick them off with a red pen. Or I did the techie equivalent of copying the transactions into a spreadsheet, where I could highlight them, sort them and hide the rows I'd reconciled.

Once it's all sorted on paper, then go into Sage and tick or untick the errors you've found.

They'd not put in the statement balances and just matched all payments they knew had gone through, so when I went to do the next reconciliation the opening balance didn't match. I only had to go back two months but it was just time consuming going into each individual item and unticking. On Quickbooks you can undo the last reconciliation with one click.
