How do I undo a match?

Every match can be reversed, whether it was made automatically or by hand. Nothing is deleted and no amounts change; both sides simply go back to the unmatched lists so you can pair them differently.

How do I undo one?

1. Go to Finances > Reconciliation and choose the account
2. Choose Show matched transactions. The count in the button tells you how many matches there are.
3. Find the match and choose Undo
4. Confirm

If the match was one bank line to several of your transactions, undoing releases all of them together. A match is all or nothing.

The one exception

If you created the transaction from the bank line with Record this, undoing removes that transaction as well, because it only existed to account for that bank line. The confirmation tells you when this will happen.

When would I undo a match?

• Automatic matching paired the wrong £50 with the wrong supplier. Undo it, then match by hand where you can see the descriptions.
• You need to delete or change the amount of a transaction that has been matched. Undo the match first.
• You need to remove an import that has matched lines in it.
