Error message

Oops! You can only change the period or account for items that are not yet reconciled! Other ones aren't up for an adventure like that!

What it means

Guard in the automatic-entry wizard's default_get (addons/account/wizard/account_automatic_entry_wizard.py:150): none of the selected journal items may be reconciled. Reversing the period of a reconciled line would break the reconciliation link and the reported balances, so the wizard requires unreconciled lines.

Solutions

1. Unreconcile the concerned lines first (reset reconciliation), run the wizard, then re-reconcile.
2. Select only lines that have no reconciliation (filter on reconciled = False).
3. For paid items, post manual adjustment entries instead of re-perioding the original line.

Example fix

# before
# selection includes reconciled lines -> UserError

# after
open_lines = lines.filtered(lambda l: not l.reconciled)
            wizard = self.env['account.automatic.entry.wizard'].with_context(
                active_model='account.move.line', active_ids=open_lines.ids).create({})

if any(l.reconciled for l in move_line_ids):
    move_line_ids = move_line_ids.filtered(lambda l: not l.reconciled)

When it happens

Trigger: Opening the wizard on account.move.line records where any line has reconciled=True (linked via full/partial reconciliation), e.g. a paid invoice line or a matched bank statement line.

Common situations: Accrual/cut-off attempts on customer invoices already paid; selections including bank-reconciled statement lines; year-end cleanups on closed items.
