Correcting Checks or Electronic Payments In a Previous Month
Incorrect Payment Total
In the Bank Reconciliation, click "Bank Fees or Check Correction". Use the fund that the payment was originally charged to for the Account (use the Check Report button at the upper right if you need to look it up). If the check amount on the bank statement is higher than in Jewel, your correction will be an expense. If the bank statement shows a lower amount than is recorded in Jewel, your correction will be an income. The Date will be the date the check cleared your bank. The Memo will say "Correct ck#1234 to match statement" or something similar. Click Add Entry to finish. The correcting entry and the incorrect check, added together, should equal the amount of the check on the bank statement, so both should be checked off in the reconciliation.
If you don't get your correcting entry right the first time, click General Journal Entry (in the Add Entry box), then click the Previous button to find the entry. Click Edit Entry, make your changes, and click OK to return to the Bank Rec page.
Incorrect Account
Use Transfer Funds to take the money from the correct bank account or local fund and replace it into the incorrect account or fund. Note the check number you are correcting in the Memo.
Duplicate Check or Electronic Payment
If your duplicate check uses a check number that you wish to use for a real check, contact tech support for assistance.
If your duplicate is an electronic payment or if you do not need to re-use the check number, simply go to Void a Check (below) to void the duplicate.
Void Check
If a check will never clear the bank (it was destroyed, replaced, stale dated (more than six months old), should never have been written, etc), go to Accounting / Void a Check, and void the check.
