To correct a payment that was made to the incorrect GL account to the correct GL account
  • Create and post a Journal from the incorrect GL account to the correct GL account.
    
    For example, The School paid their Bank charges, therefore the Bank was
    CREDITED and instead of Bank Charges, the Stationery account was DEBITED by mistake
. To correct the error, create a journal where the Stationery Account
    will be CREDITED and the Bank Charges account will be DEBITED. Once the
    journal has been created, it can be posted to reflect the required changes on
    the affected GL accounts (Stationery and Bank Charges).
