Once you have reconciled and audited the bank reconciliation there is no way to "unreconcile" a transaction.

If you have reconciled an unpresented cheque AND the payee will likely still present the cheque, the easiest option is to:

1. Add an adjustment to the bank reconciliation on the Adjustments tab from the Present Items screen. Main Menu > Accounting > Bank Reconciliation > Present Items > Select Bank > Select 'Tab' key. Go to the Adjustments tab - right click > Add. Enter:
   1. Date of the cheque 
   2. Detail: The payee, the cheque number and the matter number (if applicable). This is so you can easily identify the adjustment. 
   3. The amount as a negative (-ive)  
2. Use the Reconciled Balance Plus Adjustments figure to check your reconciliation.
   
   
    
3. Print the Bank Reconciliation Report with Adjustments and check it is correct. Main Menu > Accounting > Bank Reconciliation > Print Bank Reconciliation Report. 
4. When the cheque is presented, delete the adjustment and your bank should be back in balance. Main Menu > Accounting > Bank Reconciliation > Present Items > Select Bank > Select 'Tab' key. Go to the Adjustments tab - right click > Delete
