Correct improperly received payment

The client I do bookkeeping for has a client who was charged $70 for a service on March 9, 2020. This amount did not show up in QB when I went to reconcile so I dug deeper and I found that the payment was made and dated for March 28/2018 for some reason. It was also a payment for $100 so there was a credit for $30 even though she actually paid $70. I checked the register and this payment of $100 was deposited on March 29/18 and it doesn’t show up at all anymore so it must have been reconciled. I'm not sure how to correct this without messing up previous reconciliations as this $100 does not show up on the reconciliation, even with the 2018 date.  The deposits are typically done in groups so this one was in a list of other payments received.

 

Maybe it was the original invoice from 2018 that was accidentally changed and dated 2020 (perhaps the original was intended to be copied but was changed instead).  I'm still unsure why the amount was $100, the client now has a $30 credit, which isn't accurate. I'm not sure what to do in this situation in order to get through the next reconciliation. Please help!

Correct improperly received payment

Hi there, 

 

Thanks for providing all that information regarding your situation with your client's books. I know how important it is to ensure all transactions are entered properly. When you need to make adjustments, the most important thing is to ensure the changes don't impact the work you've already done, such as your reconciliations from previous periods. If you're not sure where to go from here, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. 

Your situation is unique, and without having the ability in the Community environment to delve deeper into the issue and see a visual aid of what's happening, I'm limited in what to suggest. The next step I'd encourage you to take, however, is to review the Audit history of your transaction to see when the original invoice was created. To do that, open the invoice, then click More at the bottom of the page. Next, select Audit History. This will display the entire history of the transaction, including when it was created. 

This may offer you some insight as to next steps. It may be as simple as to edit the date of the transaction, however it's important for an agent to review the specifics in order to get you back on track. I want to make sure you're given the appropriate help in order to get this resolved. 

I'd encourage you to reach out to our tech support team for further assistance with this. An agent has the option to remotely share your screen, which is going to be very handy in offering the right solution.

Have a great day.
