A payment recorded in error includes:

the wrong payment amount

paying off the wrong charges

 

If the receipt is not on a deposit slip in PROMAS, simply void the receipt and reenter it. If it is on a deposit slip:

 

1.

Find the receipt in question by going to either <<AR, Tenant History>>, Receipt tab or <<AR, Receipt History>>. Use the <Filter> if needed to find the receipt in question.

2.

Highlight the receipt.

3.

Click the <Edit> button.

4.

If the <Deposit Slip> button is dimmed the receipt has not been put on a deposit slip so you can simply void the receipt and reenter it.

Click the <Deposit Slip> button. This brings up the deposit slip with all the receipts that were on that deposit.

6.

Find the receipt on the deposit slip and click on it.

7.

Click OK. (If the item has already been reconciled you will get an additional warning message. Continue by clicking OK. If the deposit amount will change and the deposit has been cleared, see Situation A.)

10.

When the Tenant Receipt form displays make the appropriate changes and entries. CAUTION: Do not click <Cancel> - that will void the transaction and reduce the deposit slip amount.

11.

Click <Post>. You will be returned to the deposit slip.

12.

If you made changes to the amount of the receipt you will need to enter the new deposit amount.

13.

Click <Post>.

14.

Click the <Cancel> button to get back to <<Tenant History>>.
