Bank Reconciliations

When I void a check months after it has been issued, I find that it changes all prior bank reconciliations back to the month the check was issued. This makes no sense to me. Once a bank rec. is done, it should always remain the same.

When I spoke to someone at Sage about this, I was told that's the way the system works. Has anyone else "complained" about this and received a different answer?  Does anyone else agree with me that this is not "good accounting"?

  • Here is what I operate by:  Void with original data when that month's bank reconcilation hasn't yet been completed, otherwise, I void with a specific date  (typically the end of the month of the "next" months bank reconcilation).  As Donna Caywood pointed out, using original date will go back and adjust the reconcialtions.    I believe Sage's default bank reconcilation report takes into account for "future voids"  (it calls it out specifically).
