Posted Check with Wrong Expense Account Number

[mbanas]

Hi,
I inadvertently posted a check with the wrong expense account number. The check has already been reconciled with my bank statement. The wrong expense is skewing my income/expense report for the month. What is the best way to correct this mistake?

Make the correction in Fund Accounting:

CR 01-5180-000 wrong expense account
DB 01-5290-000 right expense account

If you enter the REFERENCE beginning with the check number like this: 1293CORR, it will sort on some of your reports next to the original check number, making easy to see the original check entry and the CORRection.

Thank-you, John. The fear of making a mistake can cloud my view of the simple answer. I hope that one day PowerChurch and/or accounting won't seem like a scary monster! Thanks for responding...
