Accidental Reversed Cheque

When clearing cheques, I accidentally clicked on "Reverse" on one of the cheques instead of "Clear" and never noticed until after I posted it. Is there a way I can change it to "Clear" or "Reverse" the reversal and then "Clear"?

The cheque was reversed instead of cleared and now the invoice that was paid on that cheque is outstanding. So I need to show somehow that the payment was made and have the invoice showing as paid also.

Hi Shelley:

I would create a Manual Check batch, specify the Vendor and the Invoice but remove the check-mark from "Print check". Enter the original cheque number in the "Check number" field. You will probably get two warnings about a duplicate cheque number but that's OK. Save that payment and then post it as usual.

Excellent, I never thought of doing it that way. Thank you very much!

Hi Shelley,

One thing to add to Bruce's solution is that IF you are using BankRec, you will have an issue posting the check if your company profile option in BankRec is set to "check for duplicates". You will have to temporarily disable that profile option to post the batch.

Thank you for the side note, Dan, I appreciate it. We don't use it and therefore it was not an issue.

Thank you Bruce, I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly!

Hi Shelley:

Thanks for the update - always happy to hear good news. For anyone reading this thread and using the Bank Reconciliation module, Dan's recommendation is correct.

This post highlights the wisdom of Canadians having different spellings for cheque and check (except for Dan who spells cheque "check").

Steve: That's because Dan is several decades younger and more modern than me!

Lol...Steve.
I'm surprised I didn't spell it the Canadian way. But I think I might have changed it when it got the red underline. :-)

*sigh* I did it again. Fifteen years doing this and I've never before done this, now I seem to have made it a bad habit and have done it twice in a couple of months! Good to have this to check back on what to do.

Thanks for the morning chuckle as well on banter back and forth on the spelling of "cheque". You gotta learn to ignore the red underline Dan and be true to our Canadian ways!

Have a great day all!
