Mastercard charge not matching receipt...

SOLVED

Trying to reconcile my mastercard account. I have one charge that was outstanding from the May bill, and now I trying to reconcile it from the June statement. However, the amount is out by 2 cents. The purchase was made online and the printed invoice that was posted in May was for 164.44. The charge showing on this months statement is 164.42. I want to adjust my original posted receipt but May month end is done and it will affect my reports from that period. How do I make this adjustment so I can reconcile my Mastercard account? It seems like I should know this, but my brain isn't co-operating Embarrassed

    Hi Tgray,

    It this is a bank error or input error, you can do an general journal entry to debit the credit card account and credit an account of your choice (can be miscellaneous expense account) in June.  

    Then, you do not need to do any adjustment to previous month which is already reconciled and reflect the real situation

    Hope this helps.

    If you are reconciling credit card account using the reconciliation journal then just go into the Expense tab and enter the 2 cents as interest charges using the stmt date as the date.
