How to Delete Statements, Bank Books, and Reconciliation Sets?

Managing your bank reconciliation data sometimes means correcting mistakes - like removing an incorrectly uploaded statement, deleting an unused bank book, or clearing out reconciliation sets.

Here’s how you can do this safely and efficiently:

Deleting Incorrectly Uploaded Statements

If you’ve uploaded a bank statement by mistake, you can remove it - as long as none of its transactions are linked to a bank book.

How to Delete:

Go to your Bank Reconciliation tab, click on the "More" options, and select "Delete Statement":

If any transactions from the statement are already linked to a bank book, you’ll need to delete the Bank Book before deletion is allowed.

Deleting Bank Books

You can delete a bank book, but only if there are no reconciliation sets associated with it.

How to Delete:

Open the Bank Book page and click on the "Delete Bank Book" option:

If reconciliation sets exist under the bank book, you’ll need to delete those sets first.

Deleting Reconciliation Sets

Reconciliation sets can be deleted, but only if none of their entries are currently in the “Reconciled” state.

How to Delete:

Navigate to the "Rescan" dropdown and select "Delete Reconciliation":

If any entries are reconciled, you’ll be prompted to undo the reconciliation before you can delete the set.

How Deletion Works

Automatic Checks:The system will automatically check for any linked or reconciled data before allowing deletion.
Clear Guidance:If deletion isn’t possible, you’ll see a clear message explaining what needs to be unlinked or undone first.
Data Safety: These checks are in place to ensure you never accidentally lose reconciled or important data.

That's it!
