How to Reconcile a Bounced Check

This article explains what to do when a check bounces and users must void, and then reissue it.

When a check bounces in Vantaca, the Reconciliation page reflects the following three items: 

• The check displays on the book side.
• A debit on the bank side indicates that the check cleared.
• A credit on your bank side indicates that the check was returned and re-deposited into your bank account.  



 To reconcile a bounced check:

1. Navigate to Accounting > Reconciliation. The Reconciliation page opens.
2. Ensure that the the check is not reconciled (if it is, unreconcile it).
3. Reconcile the two bank items (debit and credit from the check) together in a one-sided reconciliation. The two items should offset each other.
4. Navigate to Accounting > Bank Register.
5. Find the check in the bank register, ensure that it is not reconciled, and click Void next to it. 
   Note: You can tell if a check is unreconciled as it should say No in the Reconciled column. Do not void a check that is reconciled.
6. Reissue the check.
