17.3.9.1 Modifying/Correcting Payment Transactions

In some cases, a payment may be valid, but how it was posted was incorrect; for example, payment was posted to the wrong account, with the wrong date, or with incorrect spread data. The Payment Maintenance screen enables you to correct such errors.
Consider the following scenarios during payment maintenance:
  • When a transaction is posted with lesser amount (i.e. amount changed from $100 to $40), system automatically posts two transactions. A reverse transaction with amount $100 and another transaction with amount $40.
  • When a new record is inserted and payment amount is provided, system posts payment on new account.
  • When a record is updated with amount as 0, system reverses original payment and does not post any transaction.
