How do I reset a bank number?

Edit the bank number assigned to a transaction.

When you create a transaction that credits or debits funds from a bank you will assign a bank number to the transaction. You can reset the bank number when you need to correct the bank number that has been assigned to a transaction. Use Clear Bank Numbers to delete the bank number from the transactions that occur in the selected period for the selected journals. Then, use Set Bank Numbers to assign a new bank number to the selected transactions.

Here are some scenarios when you might need this routine:

Scenario 1: The bank number wasn't set up correctly and you need to tie the transaction to a new bank number to fix the problem. Normally, the transaction would automatically be assigned to the appropriate bank number. Under certain circumstances, you need to use this routine to assign the transaction to a new bank number.
Scenario 2: Transactions are tied to a bank account that you do not intend to reconcile on the computer. Later you decide to reconcile the bank account using Reconcile Bank Accounts.
Scenario 3: A check or deposit isn't showing up in the bank reconciliation, but the transaction was recorded correctly. You can reset the bank numbers to link the transaction to the bank number and then it should show up in bank reconciliation.
