Cheque Safe Reversal

Reversing a cheque that already produced a payment or portfolio is risky because the accounting entry may be reconciled. This module adds a reverse wizard to outgoing and incoming cheques that unreconciles and cancels the linked payment, disbursement or portfolio with a mandatory reason. It also shows a payment journal entry link on the cheque and warns when a portfolio is shared with other cheques. It extends the branch cheque and incoming cheque modules for accountants.

1. 1

   Open the reverse wizard

   From a branch cheque, incoming cheque or disbursement, open the reverse wizard using the reverse button. It shows the cheque, its current state and linked payment.

   • cheque_id, current_state
   • payment_id, disbursement_id or portfolio_id
2. 2

   Give a reason

   The reason field is required before the reversal can proceed. It is written into the chatter for audit.

3. 3

   Check shared portfolios

   For incoming cheques a warning is computed when the portfolio holds other cheques. The accountant sees the impact before confirming.

4. 4

   Unreconcile and cancel the payment

   Confirming removes reconciliation from the payment entry and cancels the payment, refusing with a message if its state forbids it. Only then is the cheque moved back.

5. 5

   Cancel disbursement or portfolio

   The linked disbursement receipt or portfolio is cancelled and the cheque returns to a safe state. A summary of every step is posted in the chatter.

6. 6

   Open the payment entry

   A View Entry button opens the journal entry of the linked payment straight from the cheque. It helps reviewers trace the accounting.
