How to Adjust Account Balances without adding any transactions?

Hey,

How do I adjust the balances of my account?
For an example,

The real amount of an account is $100
But in Goodbudget, it’s recorded as $80

So, without adding any specific transactions or so, I would like to just quickly adjust the balance of that $100 account to $80.

How do I do so? I try reconciling but it needs to be clear some balances or so?
But the thing is i just want to quickly adjust it from $100 to $80 without recording any transactions to minus off the $20.

How do i do that?

Hi and welcome! From your Accounts tab, you can simply choose Edit and change the amount in the account. This will enter a transaction in your ledger, but you can rename it “correction”, “adjustment” or something like that.
Hope that helps!

Is there a way to fix it so it can be reconciled?

If you’ve reconciled in the past and are now adjusting the account balance, you’ll just need to adjust the previous balance by that amount on the reconciliation page in order for it to work. Since reconciliation only compares the current balance to the last one, any balance changes you make will need to be accounted for in that manner.
Hope that helps!
