Select all transactions when reconciling bank in QuickBooks Online
The objective of reconciliation is to match the transaction and balances between the ledger and the bank statement and pick up data entry errors. You can either select the cleared transaction one at a time based on the statement sequence or selecting all transactions first and then unchecked those uncleared transactions. Use whichever method works better for you, but the latter is less common as it may prompt to mistake (e.g. same payment amount but for a different person or company).
However, if you still prefer to select all transactions and unchecked those uncleared transactions can do so by selecting the first radio button (on top of the first transaction). QuickBooks will prompt you to confirm your option; click on the ‘Yes, select all’ button to continue selecting all transactions.
This method could be workable if most of the transactions are electronically transferred (e.g. PayNow) and only have a handful of cheques to monitor, or in a scenario whereby you are rushing to clear the backlog.
