Electronic Payment Error

We processed a supplier purchase in Account Right and processed the payment in March as part of a batch through the Electronic Payments screen with the bank file uploaded to our bank for payment. The payment for this particular supplier was withheld by management with the payment deleted from our batch payment run. We reversed the payment through MYOB purchases.

The payment was remade in April, also as part of a batch through Electronic Payments. The bank account details rejected as they were incorrect and the payment was removed manually from the bank file and once again reversed from MYOB.

The payment was then made manually through our bank once we had the correct bank details and was processed through MYOB Pay Bills but not as an Electronic Payment.

The 2 reversals are showing up in our Prepare Electronic Payments and I am unable to clear them. Our bank and trade creditor reconciliations all balance and if I delete these 2 electronic payments it throws out our reconciliations.

Any suggestions on how to clear these 2 electronic payments without unbalancing our reconciliations. We have attached a screen shot of the Prepare Electronic Payments and the supplier card file.

 

 

  • ok so if all balances, to clear add the electronic clearing account as the bank account and tick both entries and save

  • Hi Jenny
    Check your accrual balance sheet to review the electronic clearing account end balance 
    Also check the bank reconciliation, are they any unreconciled payments
    Thanks Chris

    Hi Chris

    Our bank reconciliation has balanced with no unreconciled payments for this supplier and our clearing account and trade creditors have also balanced.

    Hi JennyJ11​ , if I may I add a comment, it seems to me that if the reversals cannot be cleared, then you should avoid creating them at all.

    As well as removing the payment lines from the batch files sent to the bank, the electronic payments in MYOB (representing the original unedited batch) should also have been edited, and the electronic payment to that supplier deleted. The original pay bill entry would then have reappeared on the Prepare electronic payment screen, and could simply be included in a later batch.

    I would recommend deleting the reversals and editing the electronic payment transactions in MYOB.
