Applied payment to wrong matter, GL now does not agree to Bank Reconciliation

  • Updated
When you reverse/delete a payment through the AR Reversal program, we do NOT create an entry in Bank Reconciliation to reflect that reversal.  If, after entering the "new" payment, you included that payment in a Daily Deposit Processing report, then your bank balance as shown in AP Bank Rec will be overstated by the amount of that Payment.  All you need to do is to enter a transaction in Bank Reconciliation that offsets that duplicate payment.  Go into Bank Reconciliation and locate the second Deposit record where the payment was re-entered and then included in a Deposit.  Make a note of the Reference ID (If you have already cleared the Deposit, skip the step).  Next, click on the ADD DEBIT TO BANK Button.  Use August 7 as the date, choose CHK as the Code, enter "Reverse Duplicate Deposit" for Description and enter the reference number noted (If the Deposit had already been cleared, enter 999).  Click OK.  Mark the transaction you just entered as cleared and mark the duplicate Deposit as cleared.
