I seem to have added a spurious payment from a client - I’m not sure how it happened, but I have a client payment listed for 6th April and no such payment in my business bank account. All invoices for that client are matched with an actual payment, and reconciled. This floating, accidental “payment” is sitting in my account demanding to be allocated to something, which of course it can’t be because it shouldn’t be there at all.
Clicking “options” on the relevant client payment line results in a drop-down menu. One option is “delete” which is exactly what I want to do, but it is greyed out. If I go into “edit” (which is the only option that isn’t greyed out) the only thing I am able to do is change the client it’s attached to, but this isn’t any help either.
So how do I get rid of this erroneous entry? I could create an imaginary invoice for something that didn’t happen and then allocate this imaginary payment to it, but that would be dishonest and it would also make it look like I’ve made more money than I have, which means being taxed more, which obviously I don’t want!
Any suggestions considered!
