Unreconcile an account transaction

ⓘ This article is for small businesses who use Xero 

Overview
  • Unreconciled an account transaction that's been reconciled to the wrong bank statement line.

ⓘ Tip 
If you've created a duplicate transaction during reconciliation, delete the account transaction instead

If an account transaction has been reconciled to the wrong bank statement line, unreconciled it. Account transactions are spent and receive money transactions, payment or transfer transactions, overpayments and prepayments.

When you unreconciled a transaction, both the account transaction and statement line remain in the bank account, but the connection between the two is removed. The account transaction remains on the Account Transactions tab and the statement line remains on the Bank statements tab.

However, if you're unreconciling a transaction that was manually marked as reconciled, Xero deletes the corresponding statement line too.

To unreconciled an account transaction:

  1. In the Accounting menu, select Bank accounts.

  2. Click the name of the bank account that has the account transaction you want to unreconciled.

  3. Find and open the reconciled transaction.

  4. Click Options, then select Unreconciled.

    The 'Unreconcile' option within the reconciled account transaction.

  5. Click OK.
