    Hi Carol-Anne 

     

    Thank you for your post. I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. I hope you find it a valuable resource.

     

    If closed and locked means you have already reconciled for the month. To correct the situation, kindly undo the reconciliation, unallocate and delete the received money transaction. Once done, you should be able to allocate the transaction as received payment. 

     

    However, if you've locked the date period to prevent entries during the locked period. You'll need to go to Set up menu >>Preferences >> Security >> unticked the lock period. Delete the receive money transaction and reprocess as received payment.
