Hello [email protected], thanks for reaching out! Yes a bank reconciliation reset would remove reconciliations done for the year. Here are some resources that may help:

jamcgrew: When you need to reset a bank reconciliation it only affects the one account in question. And yes, it removes all prior reconciliations for that account. Before resetting  you should be certain that you have a report from at least one month before and it should show the outstanding items at that time. This will provide the information required for the reset. As you have been doing reconciliations every month end all along you are not required to go back and redo the early part of the year. This is one reason it is wise to print the report with outstanding items as at the end of each reconciliation. 

Based on your comment about the October reconciliation I would start the new reconciliations as at October 1st and include the prior entries as shown uncleared on the September Reconciliation report. This should help the set up and the numbers should work with no discrepancies. Then you can process the October reconciliation and move ahead once again.  

Yes, thank you. 

Thanks Alwyn, at this point I have done manual reconciliations for the account through the end of 2018.  I'm wondering if it would just be better to start 2019 with the reset?  I have nothing outstanding in this account.  

Any time is a good time to start the reconciliations in Sage 50. The beginning of a new year makes sense.

Perfect.  Thank you.
