Void check

Post by jcgraves3004 »

We are using Windows 7 and powerchurch 11.5. Our checks are posted to Accounts Payable manually. In error, I posted a particular check# twice. Somehow, I ended up voiding it twice, using the void check option. I noticed it when I ran a journal report.

Prior to this I did a reverse for that same check on 5/14/2013.

The check was written to reimburse for a purchase made for our church school. In the 1st void on the journal report it credited general fund account and debited the church school. In the second void it - it reversed the process and debited general fund and credited church school. In the Power Church Manual page 266 states that a warning will be displayed if you attempt to void a check that has previously been voided. Both voids posted for the same date and time, 5/21/2013 at 4:24pm.

Do I have to do another transaction to re-enter this check? Is it still there? Is there a way to delete all the entries that I have posted to the journal now? So far there are 5 entries for this one check on our journal report? Try explaining that to a budget and finance committee.

Recommend that you run the bank reconciliation and review it for these 5 postings. Hopefully what you will find is two postings in the "deposits" section and three postings in the "checks" section. If that is the case clear the two deposits angainst two of the three checks. This will leave the one remaining check. Then, click postpone to exit the bank reconciliation.

The only way you could delete the postings to the journal is if you restore a backup made prior to these postings being done. This may or may not be feasible to do, depending on how much data was input since that backup was made.
