AP and Fund acct don't match

[debbieg]

I know it's Sunday but perhaps someone is bored and lurking around out here......

I just posted Fund Acct transactions for November and started my checking account bank reconciliation. I realized one of the checks had a diferent amount on the bank statement than what I had in PC. When I look at the data in AP, the amount is $4886 and that is what got posted to Fund Acct. However, the hard copy check stub and the check image from the bank both say $4,866. I have no idea how this happened.
At this point, can I just go in and change the transaction in Fund acct? (I took a backup, so I can restore to the pre-posting status). Is there a way to go back into Accounts Payable to make it agree for historical purposes?
thanks for any help.

Probably the easiest thing to do is to void the original check and re-enter it as a manual check with the same number. Then do a post to paid items (this will post the void and the new check). Then post to FA. When you do your reconciliation, mark all 3 items as cleared. The original check and void will be a wash and the new check will post the correct amount. Just be sure to post into the correct month so your historical data is correct. Might be helpful to add a note to the manual check for explanation if you ever have to go back and look at this transaction again.
