Reversing a Posted Payment
To reverse a posted A/R payment:
- Enter a negative A/R payment for the customer with the same check number. You must add a one or zero to the end of the original check number, as the system will see that this check has already been used for this customer.
- Distribute the negative amount to the invoices that were originally paid. If the original payment was distributed as an open payment to the customer's A/R journal, then distribute the negative amount the same way.
- Create a zero-amount invoice (for example, 0.00) and post it to the customer's A/R journal.
- Reapply the open positive payment to the zero-amount invoice.
- Reapply the open negative payment to the zero-amount invoice.
- Post the payments to zero them out on the customer's A/R journal.
