Delete a visa payment (VP) transaction

In Sage 50 Accounts, if you enter a visa payment (VP) and subsequently need to delete it, follow the steps below.

1. Click Transactions and click the visa payment you want to delete then click Delete.
2. Check the details to make sure it's the correct transaction, then click Delete.
   
   If the Delete option is disabled, this maybe due to a known issue when the search returns only one result. As a work around, instead of using a search or filter, use the Find option. Read more >
   
   
3. Depending on whether the transaction has been VAT reconciled or not, you're prompted to either delete, or reverse the transaction.
   
   Click Yes to whichever message appears.
   
   

What happens to the deleted visa payment

What happens to the visa payment depends on whether it has been VAT reconciled or not:

• Not VAT reconciled - the transaction is marked as deleted.
• VAT reconciled - a visa receipt is posted with identical details to reverse the effect of the visa payment. Next time you run a VAT Return, this visa receipt is included to also reverse the effect on the VAT Return.

 

NOTE: If the deleted transaction was bank reconciled, this will change your last bank reconciled balance. When you post a replacement transaction you must reconcile this to correct your reconciled bank balance. Read more >
