As a general rule, a negative balance in an attorney's trust account is NOT a good thing, so kudos to you for attempting to fix it ASAP.

If the account has a negative balance, you will need to use a function that puts money INTO the account to reduce the negative.  There are TWO funds transactions that do that:  Payment to Account, or a Deposit. Usually Payment to Account is used when the client gives you trust money and Deposit is used when a third party (think settlement from an insurance company) is providing the money.  Either of these would reduce the negative balance.  

Unclear from your post if you need to reduce it to only a negative 250 or if you need to go all the way to a positive 250.  Either way, it would only matter as to the amount of the transaction, not the type to use.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Nancy for your response.

I would like the negative balance to be $250.00 from $855.13 (my attorney would like the client to only owe $250.00 in their trust account. "discount" sort of speak). From my understanding, no monies are being handled; I have to somehow manipulate the numbers to bring it down to $250.00. 

To better understand what you are saying in regards to the Payment to account, is this the appropriate selection to use even though no monies are being handled?

I am very new to Sage Time slips as well as this law firm, I have 2 months experience in both areas. I really appreciate your patience and breaking this down to its simplest form. 

Whether actual money is being exchanged is 'sort of' irrelevant, because those two transaction types are the only way to increase a trust balance, which is what you need to do here.

What I would do is use the Deposit to account transaction type for $603.13 and then in the description area put a nice big audit trail quality explanation of why you are doing this, and the fact that you did not actually receive any money.  Ex: "Adjustment to Client Trust Account as per Attorney Adams - no actual monies received."
