How to correct a customer check payment incorrectly entered for a call center order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 70

Sometimes a check is incorrectly entered on a call center order, and we don't find out until after the payment is posted.  In this particular scenario, I would like to know what to do when the check amount entered was higher than it actually is.  (e.g., clerk entered $90 when they should have entered $81.)

I tried the following:

  • Edit the check payment amount.  An error appears stating "%1 is already posted for this payment line. Please create a new payment line for changes in excess of %1", where %1 is the current (incorrect) payment amount.
  • Enter a check payment for a negative amount to reverse the original amount.  An error appears stating "The payment amount must be non-negative for a payment of type Check."
  • Searched Google

(Note that this is in the Contoso demo environment.)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this?  There are two aspects that need handled:

  1. The G/L entries for the payment need to end up with the net correct amount.
  2. The sales order needs to be in a state where full payment is still needed. (we are assuming it has not been released to the warehouse yet).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi Daniel,

    on the sales order if you click: Modify, Complete, and Delete to remove the original check payment line, then you can create a new check payment line for the correct amount.   Editing the payment once posted (and checks are prepayments so posted immediately) is not supported.   Deleting the original will generate a payment voucher reversal and then a new payment journal will be created for the new payment line.  I am not aware of any way in the accounting functions to edit the value of an already posted payment voucher, I believe it must be reversed (which is what deletion of the payment line does) and a new payment added.

    Ideally if using over/under tolerances (as configured in AR parameters) call center will prevent users from overpaying (or underpaying) orders within a tolerance which could help to catch user errors like this before the payment gets submitted.
