Hi Bridgette Willems

Since it looks like you are using Sage 50 Canada, I am going to move this post to that Support Group so that other users of this software will see it and can offer you their thoughts and insight.

Thanks,

If you MANUALLY reverse the original payment, you have the option to date it in the current period.  That way it will not show up on reprints of your previous reconciliations and you can then record the payment properly.  If you use the Reverse button, then it will show up as a reversal, dated in the previous period but ready for you to clear in the current period, so I would not undo the reconciliation (but then again I wouldn't reverse something that really happened - I stick to reality as much as possible).

Without knowing how you posted the lumpsum payment, I can't say for sure, but I would hesitate about making any changes to the past payments.  The logic I have is that you paid invoices, not the ones that you didn't have the invoices for but you paid invoices that were owing and that you had.  Now that you have the missing invoices, pay them.  The previously paid invoices are still paid. If the vendor applied your previous payment to the "wrong" invoices, instead of the one's marked on your cheque stub, that is their issue.  It happens all the time.  From what you have said, you didn't pay anything wrong.

Thank you for your answer. To clarify, I can use the most current payment to pay the invoices I missed, and move forward without correcting anything?

Based on what you have said so far, yes, just pay the old missing invoices you now have with the next payment.  I assume you send the cheque stub or information about what is being paid by bank transfer if you pay by that method, so they should be able to trace what was paid and when.

THank you very much for your help.
