Example of the Payments window in Edit mode

To edit an existing payment

If you need to make a correction to the amount or to other aspects of an existing payment, you can modify the existing payment data directly. This will correct the data that may be reported back to the registrant in a confirmation letter or invoice. However, it will not modify the original accounting transaction generated when the payment was initially entered. For example, no correction to a check or credit card number will be passed through to an originating transaction.

If a correction is made to the original amount, a new payment transaction will be generated which will act as an adjusting entry. If the new amount is greater than the original amount, an entry will be generated to debit cash for the difference between the original and new amounts. If the new amount is less than the original amount, the difference will be credited to cash.

Note: If you need to adjust an existing payment amount and you have Batch Control enabled, activate the same batch that holds the original payment transaction.

Note: If you accidentally apply a credit card payment to the wrong registration, and you detect the mistake while the batch is still open, do not delete the payment. Instead, edit the payment, and delete only the Payment Amount, leaving the rest of the information in the payment record intact. iMIS makes adjustments to the appropriate accounts automatically.
