Bank reconciliation (Account Right 19.12)

[DeanC]

Hi Guru's,

Could someone help me with this?  (I'm just new to MYOB)

Yesterday I paid some suppliers by Batch upload but, the amount of the batch doesn't appear in Reconcile Accounts when I choose my Cheque account.

Just in case it matters... However, I can see the transactions I paid yesterday if I select Electronic Clearing account but, of course that appeasrs to be in balance - Zero!.

Incidently the three Bpays I paid yesterday happen to appear as expected in the Reconcile Accounts for my Cheque account - thats great!

What have i done wrong?  Hope this is an easy one (which may show my inexperience! :-))

Thank-you

hi @DeanC

Go to Electronic Clearing - put the date as 31/7/16 even try 31/7/16  - you may have dated it past the date you are looking at the reconcile date - hence you wont see.

It you can't see it - go into reconcile accounts - select electronic clearing account - and date it 31/7/16 and see if its there - if not you may have put it somewhere else - hard to say from a distance.

Got to a creditor you paid - drill down through an invoice - payments - until you find how it was paid - it should take you to the end where ever it is -

Thx @The_Doc,

I followed the transaction via creditors (and forward dated too) and it all looks good (payment made 06/07/2016).

In the Account Reconciliation View, the Elecronic Clearing Account has (conincidentally) the balance of yesterdays batch.  Mmmm Not sure if that means something???

Wonder if making a change to the Pay From Account (swapping b/w Electronic and Cheque acccount after 'Pay Bill'  posting but, before spooling the .ABA file in Prepare Electronic Payments) might cause my issue?

Cannot think what else I've possible done to casue this.

Cheers!

Note for others!

What I did was change the Pay from account field in the middle of the transaction (just prior to running the ABA file but after choosing the correct bank account in the pay Bills screen) causing the Electronic Payments clearing account to be both debited AND credited with my batch payment.

Answer: Delete transaction and re-run the Bank .ABA file.  

Thanks to the others for their assistance, it was just a 'L'  finding his way through the MYOB maze and you were not to know how silly I was.

Cheers!
