Processing a Electronic payment with past date

Hi there,

 

I need to record a Electronic Payment with the date being in the past. I use both MYOB for ledgers in AU and NZ and while I do not have a problem in AU (first file attached), I can't do the same for NZ, I get an error that won't allow me to proceed - 'The bank processing date may not be before your system date'.

 

In the past, I used a dirty workaround by changing my system date, but ever since MYOB moved to the cloud, this does not work anymore (see next file attached).

Any suggestion on what to do? I do find it weird that I'm not allowed to do this in NZ but in AU..

 

Kindly,

Rahel

    Thank you for your post. As the file is Online, it will not allow you to do this. A possible work around could be is to take a back up of your online file > Restore the back up locally > Make the changes you need to make > Take a back up > Restore the new back up file online so it replaces the current file in the cloud. Our help article Restore your company file has instructions under heading To restore a backup online (to replace your online working company file) on how to do this.

     

    Please do let us know how you go.
