Eliminate untagged items in locked periods (year end lock) in the total Untagged count

[OvidiuS]

Hi @QFMathew,
I’ve been using QuickFile for a while now but this year is the first time I use it for year end financials and reporting.

Consequently I have a few untagged transactions in the previous years that I cannot and do not want to chase and change - however for this financial year I have the count of untagged items considering the old ones too, which is confusing.

How could I make the previous periods untagged items “irrelevant” so I can trust the counts of untagged items in the current year? For the current financial year my accountant has input the opening balances, so really the previous locked periods’ untagged items are now irrelevant.

Thanks

You can try date range under untagged transactions as shown in image attached

Thanks - that is helpful when doing the tagging itself.

However I was more looking at a way to remove the “irrelevant” untagged from the total count. Once the period is closed (and deemed to stay that way) the untagged items from that period (which could be 3…4…5 years ago, it should not add up in the total number.

Hello @OvidiuS

There isn’t a way to remove the untagged entries from the count. However, all entries should ideally be tagged so the accounts are accurate.

If you don’t want to chase things, then explicitly tagging those entries to the suspense account via “something not on the list” would leave your P&L and balance sheet unchanged (since suspense is the double entry for untagged bank transactions anyway) but should remove those items from the “untagged” count.
