Hi markbart,
Totally get where you’re coming from, putting a payment on the wrong order happens a bit.
The good news is that the newer AccountRight still works the same way as the classic versions for this, so you can still fix it.
First, check how your file is set up:
Go to Setup > Preferences > Security and see if “Transactions CAN’T be Changed; They Must be Reversed” is ticked.
- If it’s ticked, you’ll need to reverse the payment.
- If it’s unticked, you can delete it.
Then:
- Open the sales order/invoice, click History, and open the Receive Payments entry.
- If that payment isn’t locked up in a bank deposit/electronic payment, you can delete/reverse it there and then re‑enter it against the correct order.
- If the payment was a deposit that came through when a quote was converted, you’ll likely need to reverse that sale and redo it with the payment going to the right order instead.

i have manage to reverse the payment but now it says a sale with payments applied may not be deleted.? At this stage it is still just an order not a sale.

Hi markbart,
Gotcha, so you’re trying to get rid of the whole sales order.
Reversing the payment puts the balance back to zero, but it still leaves both the original payment and the reversal in the order’s History, so AccountRight still treats it as “a sale with payments applied”.
If you want to delete the order itself:
- Open the sales order, then click History.
- Open and delete both the original payment and the reversal.
- If either of those payments has been included in a bank deposit/electronic payment, delete that deposit first, then delete the payments.
- Once there are no payments left in History, you should be able to delete the order.
If you’ve done all that and it still won’t budge, or you need further help with it, best to get our support team to take a closer look. You can log a support ticket from My Account, or jump into MOCA live chat on the MYOB website.
