Changing Payment account - greyed out

Hi,

 

I need to change a payment on an invoice. The invoice was incorrectly allocated to to the wrong deposit account and when I go in to change it, it is greyed out. The period is NOT locked.

 

I need to change the Deposit to Account: (from Westpac to CBA). 

Please see photo

 

  • Hi JO198

     

    Thank you for your active participation in our forum and for providing a detailed screenshot of your issue.

     

    I understand that you're looking to amend the bank account where a payment was recorded. I regret the delay in responding to your query. Unfortunately, our application does not currently support the modification of the bank account linked to a created payment. The system is designed such that you would need to delete the existing payment and recreate it with the correct bank account details. If your preferences are set so that you can edit a transaction, you can easily delete and recreate this transaction.

     

    Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance with this process.

      Hi Genreve,

       

      Unfortunately when I go to delete the payment that is also greyed out. Is there there a setting I have to change or unlock to delete this payment?

      It is not in a locked period.

       

      Thank you

        Hi JO198

         

        Apologies for the delayed response. 

         

        If your security preferences are set the same as the screenshot below but are still unable to delete the transactions, the transactions you are trying to delete are likely part of a bulk bank deposit transaction. 

        To delete the transaction in your screenshot, you will need to first delete the bank deposit transaction linked to that payment. You can do this by opening the 'Find transactions' window filtering it by the Undeposited Funds account and finding/deleting the Prepare bank deposit transaction first.

        (transactions that have a blue arrow next to them can be deleted)

         

        After deleting the bank deposit transaction, you can delete and remake the payment. For additional information regarding this, you can read through the article 'Deleting a Transaction'. 

         

        Don't hesitate to let us know if you require further help.
