How do I change the beginning amount when reconciling?

I've got your back, k-wright-aps.

Let's get the beginning balance changed/corrected.

If the account has never been reconciled, here's how you can change it:

1. Click Accounting, then choose Chart of Accounts.
2. Look for the bank account, click the View register drop-down arrow, then choose Edit.
3. Change the amount in the Balance field, then click Save and Close.

If it has been previously reconciled, here are the most common causes of the discrepancy:

• A previously reconciled transaction is deleted.
• A reconciliation status is changed in the register.
• The opening balance is incorrect.
