Pay reversal - clear outstanding electronic pymt transactions
Hi there,
Today, after processing 24 pays & creating the electronic payment ($24,047) & ABA file, I realised prior to importing the ABA file to the bank that one pay was wrong. So this is what I did:
- I REVERSED the individual's Pay (see pic) - it was reversed against the electronic Banking account, $617
- I posted a new pay for the same employee, with corrected details - also to the Electronic Banking Account, $198
- I also REVERSED the prepared Electronic Payment, for the whole original banking file amount, $24,047.
- then I went to the Prepare Electronic Payments tab, and selected all the original pays & the new pay, but left the original wrong pay for $617 and the REVERSED Pay $617 (a negative amount) NOT SELECTED.
- I created a new ABA file for these selected amounts $23,628 (essentially: 24,047-617+198)
- I then imported this bank file into Bank and made pymt
Only problem is I am now left with the deselected lines in the Prepare Electronic Payments screen and not sure how to clear as I get a message (see pic) indicating there may be reconciling problems if negative amounts are selected.
How do I clear the 2 lines from this screen please? If I select Transaction Clearing account (instead of the Business operating account) the net amount will be zero I would have thought, therefore no reconciling issues?
Is this correct?
