Voiding one transaction in an ACH batch will void the whole batch.

 

Prior to transmitting it to the bank

Void the transaction from <<GL, Bank History>> - this voids all the transactions in the batch.

Redo the ACH distribution. Compile it and change or skip any as necessary to recreate it.

 

After transmitting to the bank

Normally the bank will maintain the integrity of the batch you send them and your bank statement will reflect the batch amount as it was originally transmitted. It will record as separate entries credit for any items in the batch that were rejected. For rejections or line items that couldn’t be processed, the bank will credit the bank account for the amount. To record that, do a journal voucher or adjust bank account for each ledger affected.

Recreating the Batch

If the batch sent to the bank is different than the batch created by PROMAS, you may want to void it and then recreate the entire batch. Change or skip any as necessary to recreate what the bank processed.
