Jewel has an “Undo Last Reconciliation” feature on the Reconcile
screen. You may only rarely need to use it, but for certain errors or
problems, it can save you having to ask for assistance.
Times when “Undo Last Reconciliation” is useful:
- The Bank Rec Report has the wrong “Ending Date” or “Ending Balance”
but wasn’t noticed until it was too late.
- The “Adjusted Bank
Balance” at the bottom of the Bank Rec Report does not match the
“Financial Summary Ending Balance” for the same bank account. That often
happens when the bank account was reconciled out of order, before the
remittance check was written.
- Note that you can only "undo" the most recent Bank Rec. So if your
problem is farther back, ask for assistance.
To “Undo” the Bank Rec:
- Click on “Previous Bank Recs” and print the “Bank Rec Report” for
the month you are going to “undo”. (If you have already printed it you
can skip this step and just use what you have.)
- Click on “Undo Last Reconciliation.”
- Jewel will ask if you are sure. Click “Yes.”
- The “Last Reconciliation” date will change.
- The “Ending Date” and “Ending Balance” for the "undone" month will
appear on the screen, also all of your deposit and check entries.
- Fix the ending date or whatever else the problem was. Then use the
printed Bank Rec Report to redo the bank rec, clicking on all the
correct boxes until you have a zero difference.
- If the Adjusted Bank Balance was the problem, this can fix it.
- Once you have a zero difference, click “OK √” to finish and then
reprint the “Bank Rec Report.”
