Check Wrongly applied in peachree Help

[Tafari]

Greetings

How can I correct this error in peachtree accounting?
Fiscal Year ends June 31st, 2002

Check #7416 Paid for on April 23rd 2002 Amount $1,000.00

Problem is that check was never sent to the customer and it is showing as
paid on
the date stated above.

Hence since bill is still outstanding

Check #7560 Paid for on August 15th 2002 Amount $1,000.00
after the fiscal year end.

How can I correct this without changing the closing balances as at July
31st 2002?

There is no backup before the fiscal year close to go back is there another way.

Cheers

If the invoice was entered in accounts payable, the initial check paid a specific invoice. You can void that check in August and it will make the invoice unpaid and in your accounts payable balance. Then edit the August payment to apply to that invoice.

If the payment was made without entering in accounts payable, then voiding the check in August will credit the expense/inventory account. If the August check is charged to the same expense/inventory account the net will be zero and no effect on the current year.

Your year-end will be unchanged as an invoice was paid and the check was outstanding. Entries in August, and the subsequent clearing of the replacement check will result in no effect on the current year.
