Wrong Linked Category used

Hi There, 

 

Previously, the asset category account for tracking receivables that was linked to it was a bank account. So probably that was why the bank account, instead of AR, was credited everytime an invoice is created even though I used income account in the invoice. I change the linked category to Accounts receivable, however, it did not update the journal entry on the invoices that were previously recorded. How can I update all the invoices that were credit to bank account without having to delete each one? Payments were already applied to these invoices. I am using MYOB online. Thank you!

    Hi Epicbiz,

    Welcome to the Community Forum!

    In this type of scenario, we recommend reaching out to an accountant for an accurate solution. However, to give you some guidance, you can create a general journal entry to reverse the incorrect credits to the bank account. This involves debiting the bank account and crediting the accounts receivable (AR) account for the total amount of the invoices that were incorrectly credited. Once the incorrect entries are reversed, you will need to reapply the payments to the correct AR account. This can be done by creating a new general journal entry that debits the AR account and credits the bank account for the same total amount.

    I hope this helps!
