Corrupted Transaction

ciayoong

I have been trying to delete a corrupted cheque payment. However, reckon kept restarting and nothing was deleted. I try to rebuild / verify data, but to no avail.

Sometimes things like this happen, if you are unable to delete (are you using Ctrl D), you could do a corresponding journal to offset it. Are you able to change the account or delete the tax code? If so and you are still unable to delete I would do a corresponding ‘make deposit’ (if no tax code involved) or journal it out

ciayoong

this payment's journal as follows:-

dr payable 0

cr bank 0

cr exchange gain loss 100.

and this makes my trial balance to be off. Hence this transaction have to be deleted in order for it to be tied.

What exactly is the transaction you are trying to delete? A cheque or bill payment, can you send a screenshot?

ciayoong

image journal as requested.

Kris_Williams

When you double click on that transaction and get back to the Bill payment can you take a screenshot of that please?

@ciayoong Locate the transaction in your bank account register, select it (with the ⬆️ or ⬇️ keys on your keyboard) then press Ctrl + Delete to delete the transaction without having to open it 😊

ciayoong

@Acctd4 did that. but reckon needs to be restarted and viola, the entry is still there.

Can you send me a screenshot of the transaction in the cheque window, not the journal

ciayoong

as above. cheque window.

This is a zero transaction so can be ignored, however you clearly have a problem. Are you able to change the exchange rate down the bottom to zero?

you can call me if you like 0415940843

have you tried logging in as administrator- go to the shortcut for Reckon, right click, and say ‘run as administrator’

@Kris it does not allows me to change it to 0. also, tried changing it to 0.00000001 but the exchange gain loss still retain.

I have also tried logging in as adminstrator, however still the same issue. Reckon just restarted. And does not resolve anything.

A bit hard to diagnose without access to the file, I could connect to your computer via Chrome remote desktop if you wished

Hi @ciayoong this issue will require a data file repair.

The Bill Payment transaction is missing data that 'links' the individual records that make up that single transaction, which results in the deletion function failing.
