Reversing Brought Forward Unreconciled Cheques

So the funds appear back on the matter for re-issuing of cheque 

If you can’t see a cheque in the cheque enquiry screen and the information was migrated, it is most likely that the cheque is an unpresented item in the bank reconciliation screen. 

To reverse the unpresented cheque and get funds back on the matter: 

Do a negative trust voucher which will then put the money back into the trust account and then you can redraw the cheque. The negative trust voucher will then offset the BBF transaction in the bank reconciliation screen. 

To enter the negative voucher 

• Menubar > Transactions > Input Payment Voucher > Payment Method 'P - Already Paid' (By cheque) > Amount: Negative > Cheque No: Enter as required.
