# Reverse Creditor Payment

## This article is designed to explain how to reverse a Creditor Payment made to the wrong Supplier

#### **[Confirm payment was made to the wrong supplier](https://knowledge.ezysys.com.au/fox-support/reverse-creditor-payment#Con-wrong-pay)**

#### **[Reverse payment](https://knowledge.ezysys.com.au/fox-support/reverse-creditor-payment#Reverse_Payment)**

#### Confirm Incorrect Payment to Supplier

Check Trial Balance and confirm creditor is still outstanding. Trial Balance reports can be found in Accounts Payable \> A/P Reports. There are several options: Trial Balance; Detail Trial Balance; and Trial Balance By Due Date.

Check Creditor Drill Down for payment reference and date of payment made to wrong creditor. Go to Accounts Payable \> A/P Reports and Drill Down Enquiry is the final menu option.

 

**💡Tip: Use the original invoice reference to create the audit trail through the system**

#### Reverse Payment

- Go to Accounts Payable \> A/P Invoice & Adjustments \> Invoice & Adjust Entry and insert a new batch
- Enter the code of the creditor who was incorrectly paid
- Change the Transaction Type to Debit Adjustment
- Enter the GL code for the bank account
- Make sure GST is not included in the transaction
- When the Debit Adjustment is updated, it will record the payment going back into the bank account and will restore the balance against the creditor

📌**Please note:** the Debit Adjustment will not recreate lines of an invoice (such as from a Purchase Order Receipt). It will only put the balance owed back onto the creditor for payment to be made at a later date.

Process payment to the correct creditor using A/P Payments \> Creditor Payment Maintenance
