Shepherd's Staff will allow you to reopen the last reconciliation you posted. When you post a bank account reconciliation, every transaction that you marked as being cleared will essentially be locked. No edits can be made to those transactions, and those transactions cannot be voided or deleted. If you discover a mistake after you've reconciled a transaction, reopening your last reconciliation will let you get back into that transaction, even though it had previously been cleared. We recommend making a backup of your database before proceeding with this utility.
Note: You must have supervisor level access to the Finance module in order to use this utility.
- In Finance, click on the "Tools/Settings" tab, click on the radio button for "Reopen the last reconciliation" and then click "Start".
- The "Reopen the last bank statement reconciliation" window will appear. In the "Bank accounts with a statement reconciliation" field, select the bank account you want to undo the last reconciliation for. Only bank accounts that have had a bank statement reconciliation performed on them since upgrading to version 9.0 of Shepherd's Staff will appear in this field.
- After selecting your bank account, the window will display information on the last reconciliation completed on this bank account, including the date of that reconciliation, the statement beginning and ending dates, as well as the statement beginning and ending balances.
- Click the "Reopen" button. A window will appear asking you to confirm that you want to reopen your last reconciliation for this bank account. Click "Yes", and you'll receive confirmation that the last reconciliation has been reversed.
