If correct click Reverse. Reversal is now complete. Close reversal screen and navigate back to the batch screen. Output process to finish the reversal. 


Next:

Property revenue > Payment processing > Payment entryAdd a new batch > Accept. Navigate payment entry to enter a new payment by using Search function. Enter bill information( bill number, year, Accounts Receivable Category are ideal). Bill should be found and confirmed. Payment amount that was reversed out can now be applied to the correct bill.
