    Hi Sadeta21 

     

    Thanks for your post. There's a couple of ways you can handle these situations depending on how you entered the payment, ie $958 or $1000. Assuming you entered the payment amount as $958:

     

     

    Option 1 -

    1. if you don't already use the Undeposited funds account, delete and re-enter the payment to the Undeposited Funds account for $958
    2. record a Receive money transaction, tick the Undeposited Funds box so the Deposit to Account is the Undeposited Funds account, allocate $42 to a suspense type account
    3. go to Prepare Bank Deposit, select both transactions, the total deposit amount will be $1000, click on Record
    4. match that transaction with the deposit transaction in bank feeds
    5. record a Spend money transaction, allocate $42 to the same suspense account used in the Receive money transaction
    6. match the Spend money transaction with the withdrawal in bank feeds
    7. the Receive and Spend money transactions will clear each other out so the suspense account will be back to zero

    Option 2 -

     

    In the bank account you have a deposit of $1000 and a withdrawal of $42 giving you a total deposit of $958. In AccountRight you have a deposit of $958 so basically those 3 transactions reconcile. In bank feeds you can hide the two transactions, $1000 deposit and $42 withdrawal, by right clicking on the transaction and selecting Hide. Then go to Reconcile Accounts and manually tick the $958 deposit. If you're not sure about this option I'd recommend checking with your accoutant.
