ACH payments made to 2 incorrect accounts

We manage two properties for two different companies although they have the same owner. The old property managers wired lump sum rents to us for each of the properties, but they switched the bank accounts. Meaning the rents for Building A went into the checking account for Building B, and vice versa.

 

Now I have $30,000 in Building A's bank account, and $20,000 in Building B's account. These ACH payments should have been flipped, meaning I need to move $10,000 from Building A's account to Building B.

 

I've never encountered this situation before. Which GL account would I write the check from out of Building A's account, and how would I receive it on Building B's books?

 

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

@tryansfl83,

 

Assuming these buildings have individual QB files...

 

One way would be to post the $30k split into two.

  1. $20k as a regular payment (and deposit to Undeposited Funds).
  2. $10k added to the same deposit and use a liability account in the From Account field.

In the $10k check choose the same liability account under Expense.

 

Another way is to post the $30k payment in full.

In a journal entry make an adjustment between AR and the same liability account.

The check would be the same as above.

 

Let me know if this helps.
