I am still doing my bank rec and i just wanted to check something with you all.
Where i have deleted certain items through corrections on sage mistakes etc, now when i go to the bank rec screen there are a few entries that say cancel and they are in the debit side and the same on amount on the credit side. Should i just match them against each other even if some of them are dated a few months ago and not in the current month i am reconcilling?
You should notice that the previous reconciled balance has changed - this is due to the deletion of entry previously reconciled. Personally I always advise people to err on caution for any items reconciled whether VAT or Bank as it does create a messy audit trail. It is neater to just reverse entry ie issue credit for same, receive money to correct a payment etc. etc. Just ensure you have the same VAT amount on the reverse entry.
