Hi there,

We've recently posted a cheque onto the system against a BACS Transfer, so there's no invoice as such. (so, Cheque for £400 paid in, BACS transfer for £400.00 made)

The cheque was subsequently lost by the receiving Bank, and so the customer has written another to replace it.

How do I show this on the Solar Accounts system please?

Kind regards,

Al

Hi Al,

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your situation. Please tell me:

1. Who wrote the cheque? Was it one of your customers?

2. Was the cheque deposited into the business bank account?

3. What is the 'receiving Bank'? Do you mean the bank that received the BACS payment?

Thanks,

Hi Alain,

OK if the transaction date in Solar Accounts is recent and has not been used on any VAT return or tax report, then you can simply delete it:
Right-click on it in the Transactions list and select 'Delete'.

Otherwise, treat it as a bounced cheque:

1. Go to the Transactions list

2. Right-click on the original payment transaction and select 'Copy'

3. Add a minus sign to the front of the Amount Received so the figure is negative

If the Type is 'General Payment' then you are finished. If the Type is 'Invoice Payment' there is an additional step:

4. Tick 'Show paid invoices' and type the negative figure into the Amount Applied column (ie. matching the Amount Received figure)
