Non Sufficient Funds Reverse Deposit Entry

Menu Path: Accounts Receivable Images\bluerarw.gif Customer Payments Images\bluerarw.gif Non Sufficient Funds Reverse Deposit Entry

Purpose

Reverse deposits that did not clear the banking system (non-sufficient funds).

Overview

Use Non Sufficient Funds Reverse Deposit Entry to enter information for payments that were rejected because the payer had non-sufficient funds (NSF) available in the bank account of the payment. You can also add an NSF service charge and print an NSF invoice to be sent to the customer (payer). An NSF invoice is created in the accounts receivable system that is equal to the amount of the payment plus any service charges.

Note For information on setting up NSF service charges, see Group Payment Rule Maintenance or Customer Payment Rule Maintenance.

For customer payments, entering a NSF payment creates a collection task in Collection Task Management and can also result in all future orders going on credit hold if set up in Group Credit Rule Maintenance or Customer Credit Rule Maintenance. The customer’s payment can optionally be reversed. For miscellaneous payments, the original miscellaneous payment general ledger posting is reversed.

Note Before you use this functionality, make sure that the category NSF Charge defaults to a general ledger account in System General Ledger Account Maintenance (otherwise, you may end up with an unbalanced journal entry).

Main Tab Fields and Buttons

Field or Button

Description

Batch #

This field displays the open batch (if one is still open). You can use the Select, Open, Edit, and Close buttons on the Batch tab in the ribbon to work with batches.

Note The batch numbering sequence is shared by Deposit Entry, Non Sufficient Funds Reverse Deposit Entry, and Factor Receivables Entry, but you must use a separate batch for each type of entry. If you attempt to use the same batch number for any of these programs, a warning message appears, and you must select a different batch number.

Note It is highly recommended that you use a separate batch for non-sufficient funds payments received for each day, and post to the general ledger only when you have completely entered the entire batch. This will help out during the bank reconciliation process, and will make the cash account information in Account Detail Inquiry more meaningful.
