How do I correct a reconciled deposit that was "not yet posted" to the GL

Dee Belanger

How do I get the GL back in balance when a deposit was reconciled but had not been posted to the GL? If I adjust, an outstanding deposit shows up on the reconciliation, which is also not correct because it would be outstanding forever.

And why in the world can an item be reconciled when it hasn't been posted to the GL?

@Dee Belanger Posting is not required to reconcile but it is one of the steps always recommended to do before reconciling. IF the entry is reconciled , you can't change it. If it will still post, I'd post it, then do a correcting JE. Otherwise you'll need to talk to your account rep about buying the data service to have a bank rec reopened, so you can make changes, then re-reconcile that bank.
