Nominal to Office (NTO) postings are a posting type that you are unable to reverse using the Edit Transaction button. So in this instance, a manual, opposite posting is required to 'reverse' the original posting from the ledger.
Depending on how the original posting was made, will decide on the method needed to reverse.

If the original NTO was NOT "Ticked for Bills"

You can tell if the original NTO was ticked for bills or not by simply double-clicking on the item on the matter ledger. If the double entry contains your Debtors control nominal then it was ticked for bills.
​
Please follow the steps below:

  1. From the DPS home screen select Client Postings.

  2. Select General Postings.

  3. Select the type as Office to Nominal 'OTN' then complete the required fields and then Post Batch.

  4. Go to Client Postings.

  5. select Allocations and enter Matter Ref.

  6. Match the original NTO with the new OTN posting.

This is a bit trickier as you cannot 'tick for bills' when posting an OTN. What is needed is a Payment from the Matter than a receipt to the nominal.

Please follow the steps below:

  1. From the DPS home screen select Client Postings.

  2. Select General Postings.

  3. Select the type as Office Debit 'ODR' then complete the required fields and then Post Batch.

  4. From the DPS home screen select Nominal Ledger.

  5. Select Bank Payments and Receipts.

  6. Select the type as Bank Receipt then complete the required fields (the nominal selected should match that which shows in the double entry of the original posting i.e. Profit Costs)) and then Post Batch.

  7. Go to Client Postings.

  8. select Allocations and enter Matter Ref.

  9. Match off the original NTO with the new OTN posting.

  10. These two postings will also create a contra bank entry which can be matched off against each other.
