To reverse a Receive Money transaction
Banking > Receiving Money > Finding, changing, deleting and reversing Receive Money transactions >>
Use this procedure only if your transactions are unchangeable. (Choosing changeable or unchangeable transactions)
The receipt you want to reverse should be displayed in the Receive Money window. (To find a transaction)
- Choose Reverse Deposit Transaction from the Edit menu. After a few moments, a new transaction, containing amounts exactly opposite of the amount in the original transaction, will be displayed in the Receive Money window.
If you want, you can make a few changes to the new transaction (such as the date and the memo), but you can't change the accounts and amounts that are associated with it.
If you're reversing a receipt from a previous accounting period, consider assigning a date from that period to the new transaction. This will allow your reports for that accounting period to reflect the proper amounts.
- Click Record to save the reversed Receive Money transaction.
- If the payment you reversed was recorded on a bank deposit of undeposited funds, continue to step 4, otherwise, you're finished.
- Click Prepare Bank Deposit from the Banking command center to open the Prepare Bank Deposit window.
- If the payment hasn't been recorded on a Prepare Bank Deposit transaction; that is, the original payment still appears in the window: Select the payment reversal (a negative amount) and the original transaction from the list of payments by clicking the Deposit column.
