Resetting bank reconciliation

SOLVED

Hi everyone,

Hope y'all are doing well. I have recently taken on a new client as their bookkeeper and I have noticed that their bank reconciliation was not done through Sage. While there is a hand-made bank reconciliation from last year-end, I am looking to start using Sage for future reconciliations. However, I have come across an issue where there are around 200 outstanding transactions from the past 10 years. I am unsure of the best way to delete them without affecting the current reconciliation. I have considered resetting the bank reconciliation, but I am worried that doing so will require me to start over from the first year in Sage. Is there a way to reset everything and start from the current year? If not, what is the best method to delete the 200 old transactions from my transaction feed?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi Thierry,

    I am in this same boat. I would like to understand what happens if you reset it.  That seems like the easiest thing to do, but just not understanding what will happen. 

    Did you ever figure this out?  

    Thank you,

    Hi Sheila H,

     is right! To start making my reconciliations, I created a bank reconciliation of the month preceding the first month I needed to reconcile. In that initial reconciliation, I cleared all the unwanted transactions from the feed. The fact that they never did their reconciliation in Sage allowed me to choose the beginning balance, and I ensured that this would make my ending balance accurate.
