Void or delete a reconciliation

If you need to correct a reconciliation, what you do depends on whether it is finished. You void a completed reconciliation to unlock the period so you can correct it and reconcile again. You delete an in-progress reconciliation to discard it and start over.

Note: Voiding and deleting reconciliations requires administrator permissions, the same as reconciling.
Note: If your plan includes Clio Accounting, void your reconciliations in Clio Accounting instead. See Clio Accounting: Operating and Client Funds Reconciliation.

Void a completed reconciliation

Completed reconciliations are locked to protect the integrity of your client funds account. If you need to make a correction to a previously reconciled period, such as editing or deleting a transaction, you must void the reconciliation and then redo it.

Important: You cannot void a reconciliation if there are newer reconciliations for the same bank account, whether completed or in progress. Each reconciliation uses the previous reconciliation's end date and end balance as its own start date and start balance, so the periods are chained together. To void an earlier period, first void every reconciliation for more recent periods.
  1. Go to Accounts.
  2. Click the relevant client funds account name.
  3. Select the Reconciliations subtab.
  4. Click the down arrow next to View Report for the relevant reconciliation.
  5. Select Void Reconciliation.

Once voided, the period is unlocked. Correct the underlying transactions, then reconcile the period again.

Delete an in-progress reconciliation

Delete an in-progress reconciliation when you want to discard it and start over, for example if you entered the wrong start or end balance. There are two ways to do this.

 

From the list of reconciliations

  1. Go to Accounts.
  2. Click the relevant client account name.
  3. Select the Reconciliations subtab.
  4. Click the down arrow next to Continue for the relevant reconciliation.
  5. Select Delete Reconciliation.

 

From the reconciliation itself

Use this method if you are already working in the reconciliation and decide to start over.

  1. Go to Accounts.
  2. Click the relevant client account name.
  3. Click Continue Reconciliation.
  4. Click the down arrow next to Save for later.
  5. Click Delete.
Tip: If you only need to fix the start and end dates or balances, you do not have to delete the reconciliation. Click Edit on the reconciliation page to correct them.
