I'm new to Quicken for Mac, flubbed my first reconciliation.

Bromus · June 2019

I flubbed my first reconciliation by mistakenly adding an adjustment to make the account balance. Is there a way to undo this?

There is no re-reconciling an account in current versions of Quicken. The only way is to manually "unreconcile" each transaction that is affected.

You can do this by first making sure the CLR column is showing (Columns settings; has to be set separately for each register). Then, OPT-CLICK the √ which will cycle through the 3 reconcile statuses (reconciled, checked and none).

Clearly this is not a great way to correct reconciliations and is error prone. In fact, There actually is this feature in an older version of QMac and there is an open IDEA request to add it back in. You can add your VOTE to Track/store Prior Reconciled Statements/periods.

First, click on the underlined link above to go there, then click the little grey triangle under the VOTE count at the top of page 1 in the blue banner, so your vote will count for THIS feature and increase its visibility to the developers by seeking to have the features you need or desire end up in the latest version (it may take a few seconds for your vote to register).

Just delete the adjustment from your register. You can also re-reconcile if you wish.

Yes, by "re-reconcile", I meant that you can run reconcile again if you need to mark any item as reconciled for the period. For instance, in the situation @Bromus described, if the $10 adjustment was discovered to be in error because a $10 transaction was missing, one could delete the adjustment entry, enter the missing $10 entry, re-run reconcile, and check off the newly-entered $10 transaction.

If you wanted to start reconciliation for a month completely from scratch, that is not easy; as noted, you have to un-reconcile every transaction. (Note to @smayer97 : this can not be done on a batch of transactions; mass edits do not include the Clear field, so you have to unreconciled each transaction, confirming each one, that you want to change from reconciled to not reconciled. If there is a way to un-reconcile transactions in mass, I haven't found it.)

Thx for clarifying. I could not remember for sure. I have removed that part.
