Thanks for the Quick Reply!
Perhaps I can explain it better.
$100 was given to an employee as a petty cash advance. But the accountant booked it as a voucher payment (expense, not an advance). So Petty Cash shows that $100 advance as being an Expense. But the employee used that $100 advance to incur expenses, which were also recorded by the accountant as an expense. At this point the advance should have been cleared to $0, with only the $100 in expense receipts remaining.
$100 left the actual petty cash, but $200 in expenses were recorded ($100 advance mistake + actual $100 expenses).
All of this was reconciled in Petty Cash account, even though the actual petty cash was incorrect. So she had $1,000 in actual cash but she reconciled in QBO as having $900
So account is already "reconciled" in QBO at this point (even though the balances don't match in actual). Now she deleted the mistaken voucher. So QBO & Actual Petty Cash equal, but QBO reconciliation report is NOT, because the ending balance of June cannot be changed.
Essentially I need to add $100 to June petty cash in QuickBooks & the re-reconcile that month & any subsequent months, I guess. If I clear the reconciliation from Account History, I still cannot redo the reconciliation, which means the end balance will always be wrong. So I'm stuck.
