Electronic clearing account

Hi Everyone

 

I am oping someone can help with this.

 

There were payments entered via spend money into the electronic clearing account on 30/6/21 totalling $16K

 

However these were not processed from the bank until 1/7/21.

 

This means the electronic clearing account is showing a balance of $16K when it should be $0. I don't know why this is happening.

 

Any ideas of how to clear this out? All bank accounts are reconciled and balance.

Thanks

S

PS we are using Account Edge but I couldn't pick this from the list, no longer supported :-(

    If you are looking at the balance sheet as at 30/6/ then the electronic clearing account will show those entries as they were sitting there at that date.

     

    If they were not processed until the 1/7 then the Balance Sheet as at 1/7 will show $0 in electronic clearing

     

    The onlt way to get rid of the figure in the balance sheet would be to delete and redo the payment as at 30/6

     

    Either way it only moves between Electronic Clearing or the bank account- The bank will show an outstanding payment for the $16k as at 30/06

     

    Hope that helps

      Thanks for your reply LRBooks61 

      I've already tried that, I thought that would be the obvious solution.

      I htink it's due to a GJ entry that the accountant's office has entered. If only I could get them to reply...

      Many thanks again.

        You are probably correct then

         

        you can check yourself

         

        go into the balance sheet and drill down into the electronic clearing account or account list and see if there is a journal entry for the 30/6
