Editing a Transaction in a Reconciled Period

Overview: This document will walk you through the steps on how to edit a transaction in a reconciled period. 

Note: If you do not need to change the amount or date of the transaction you wish to edit and only wish to edit the client and/or matter, then you do not need to delete the reconciliation. You can skip Steps 1 and 2 and proceed to finding the transaction to edit. 

Steps:

  1. Print out the Detailed Reconciliation Report for the month that the transaction was reconciled. This will make it readily available to quickly redo the reconciliation after you have made the adjustments to the transaction.
