If the cheque is still outstanding and has not been processed through your bank, then the cheque would need to be written back to the ledger. In this instance the cheque was billed and, the bill had been paid. So the steps to deal with the unpresented cheque would be:
Re-open the matter ledger.
From the DPS Home Page, select Client Postings.
Select General Postings.
Select Client Postings.
Select DPU but enter this as a negative – value.
This deals with your office bank rec item. You then need to decide how to deal with the credit balance on the matter office account ledger. It’s likely to be due to the client (if the original disbursement was billed, and the bill subsequently paid by the client). if so post another DPU made payable to the client, If the money is not due to the client, you may want to write off the sum by performing an OTN transfer, picking up a Bad Det nominal.
