When you're reconciling a bank account, an out of balance amount tells you that something isn't quite right. So you need to work out what's gone wrong. Here are some things to look out for:
If you've checked all these and your reconciliation still doesn't balance, it might relate to an incorrectly displayed Calculated Statement Balance in the Reconcile Accounts window. This is a rare issue, and only affects what's displayed in this window, not your company file data. Here's a quick check to see if this is your issue:

title | To check your Calculated Statement Balance |

| - On the Reconcile Accounts window:
- Enter the closing date of your latest bank statement in the Bank Statement Date field.
- Enter $0.00 in the Closing Statement Balance field.
- Select all transactions as cleared and take note of the Calculated Statement Balance.
- Go to Find Transactions > Accounts tab.
- Select the bank account you're trying to reconcile.
- Enter the closing date of your latest bank statement in both the Dated From and To fields.
- Press the TAB key on your keyboard and take note of the Ending Balance in the bottom-right of the screen.
If the Ending Balance is the same as the Calculated Statement Balance, it's fine. If not, you'll need to contact MYOB for help (Australia 1300 555 123 or New Zealand 0508 328 283). |
Undoing a reconciliationIf your issue relates to a previous reconciliation (perhaps a transaction was incorrectly reconciled, or a wrong date was used) you can undo the last reconciliation. When you undo a reconciliation, all transactions for that period return to an unreconciled status and they will need to be reconciled again. UI Expand |
