Customer Payment applied to dummy invoice

Topic is actually Payments and Banking:

 

Good  morning,

 In october 2021, we had a credit card deposit to our bank account in the amount of $4000.

 

Unfortunately, there was no record of the transaction or who the customer was.  So, in order to reconcile the bank account, I created a dummy credit memo to make the deposit.

 

Finally, yesterday in fact,between  the bank and the card company, we were able to determine who the customer was and where to apply that payment.   However, when I now apply that credit card transaction to the customer (Receive Payment)  it shows up as an uncleared deposit, thereby affecting the actual  and correct closing balance  as of December 31, 2021 on the bank statement.  What is the proper way t o apply the payment to the correct customer, get rid of the dummy credit memo, and result in a correct closing bank statement balance so that now it is January 2022, when it comes to reconcile, the QB closing balance is is correct--matching bank statement.

 

Thank you

Yes, delete the bogus credit memo, then apply the payment to the correct invoice

Thank you for your reply.

 

I did delete the bogus credit memo and applied to correct invoice/customer.  However, that created an uncleared deposited dated October 2021.  The bogus credit memo was deposited in October in order to correctly reconcile the bank account. 

Now when I go to reconcile January 2022, the Beginning Balance is $4,000 less than what it actually is.  I've reconciled bank account through the end of December 2021.  Am I missing a step or 2?

 

Thank you,

How can you deposit a bogus amount?  That makes no sense.

I meant to say I showed deposit to a bogus CUSTOMER.
