NSF Check Question

[ucsutah-p40]

I have a donation that a member wrote for $4500 for tithing and $4000 of it bounced. How do i correct it so the member has $500 in the tithing donation. (The member was aware of the bounced check)

Do I create a new single batch, or in the next Sundays batch and put in the $500 donation for that particular member. So at least he has $500 that went through his donation. Then do i notify Salt Lake of that particular change? I am kind of nervous to put it in a Sundays batch because of the missing check. I have the nsf check that was sent back as well. I would like to get this done by the end of the year.

Any help would be appreciatiated thanks. I have it on my reconciliation statement on Temporary items and would like to clear this up.

thanks for your help

You cancel the $4000 on the original donation in MLS by going to View/Update Donations, finding the correct donation batch, then finding his donation, and changing the tithing amount from $4500 to $500. You return the check to the donor -- you do not redeposit it, so you don't need to create any new batch. Simply correct the original batch. When you next do a Send/Receive the correction will be automatically transmitted to Church Headquarters.

If the donor wants to make a donation before the end of the year to make up the canceled amount, they have to give it to a member of the bishopric on or before December 31, or mail it with a postmark on or before December 31.

I'm certain your question was using hypothetical amounts, right? We wouldn't want to post anyone's real financial data here.

In addition to what Alan said, MLS will also require you to alter the funds amount to match the corrected donation. For example, if the donation was made using 2 checks of $4000 and $500, you would delete the $4000 one. Be sure to give the reason for the adjustment in the pop-up screen.
