Bounced check

A customers check bounced and I used the bounced check feature.  A journal entry was created to debit AR and credit cash.  Now the customer account shows a credit for the amount of the bounced check.  How do I fix this to show the customer the correct amount of what the owe?

Bounced check

You're on the right path, AltaCC.

 

To remove the credit and mark the transaction as unpaid, we'll have to switch the payment for the invoice to the reversing journal entry. I'll show you how:

 

  1. From the Reports menu, select Customers Receivables, then choose Customer Balance Detail.
  2. Double-click the original payment line for the NSF transaction.
  3. In the Receive Payments window, move the check mark from the invoice to the reversing journal entry.
  4. Select Save & Close.

 

Please note that this will reduce your bank account by the amount of the bounced check. The invoice where the bounced check came from will be marked unpaid.

Once done, you have the option to resend the open invoice. For more details about the process and to ensure your record is accurate, please see this article: Handle Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) or Bounced Checks from Customers.
