Hi bgordonelect,

 

When an online payment is migrated from AccountRight into the new file, it comes across as historical data. The same thing applies if the date sits in a financial year that’s already closed in the new file. Once that happens, the payment is treated as a locked prior‑year transaction. Because it can’t be edited directly, the way to correct it is to leave the original payment as is and post a general journal in the current open year to move the amount to the correct account for reconciliation. 

 

Cheers,

Doreen
