Voided Checks and reconcilation
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:44 am
First, I want to thank everyone for all the useful information in this forum. I've been a clerk for about 7 months, and it's been a goldmine.
This is a situation that I haven't seen before, and I couldn't find any information on:
The ward issued three checks. Later, because of issues with the payee, we voided them out and combined then into a single check, notating the reason in the appropriate location. Now it's time to reconcile the budget.
Since the checks are issued in one month, but voided in another, we have an outstanding transfer that creates a non-zero amount. Basically, the CUFS says we received a HQ transfer to cover the checks, but in MLS, the check amounts are $0.00 because they've been voided out. So we have a positive balance in that particular category.
We just got another CUFS, and the new one shows the voided checks.
So do I create a temporary transaction for the month in which the checks were issued so that everyone zeroes out, and then remove it for the newest month? I don't want to carry over a nonzero balance, even if it gets fixed in the next month's CUFS. Any ideas?
