QuickBooks Online Reconciliation Changes Coming Soon

Within the next few weeks, what has currently been available as only an option in QuickBooks Labs (Gear icon, under Your Company), the QuickBooks reconciliation will become live.

Reconcile - Opening Screen

The look and layout of all the screens will be totally different.

All transactions can be shown in list format on one page.

Any changes to transactions already reconciled will trigger a warning the next time an account is reconciled.

Discrepancy Warning

The Reconciliation Discrepancy report makes it easy to find out what has changed.

I especially like the new Find filter option inside the reconciliation screen.

And the bigger warnings about reconciling when the difference isn't zero.

Reconciliation Warning about Non-Zero Difference

I am so familiar with the current reconcile mode that I have never warmed up to the newer way in QuickBooks Labs. But I think this will be a great improvement for users that may be new to QuickBooks Online or just have a hard time grasping the concept. I will certainly switch to it now so that I can be ready for my clients when they need help.
