Move Transactions from Admin to Capital Works / Sinking in Strata Master
When a Payment has been made and later found to have been entered to the incorrect account (usually an expense), the invoice is the part that reflects incorrectly. It is possible to correct the Invoice account selection using journals. Refer the Section below referring to Creditor Payments.
Similarly, When a Receipt to the Owners Corporation has been found to have been made selecting the incorrect account (usually a Revenue account), the account selected in the receipt can be corrected using journals. Refer to the Section below titled Owners Corporation Receipts.
Checks Before You Proceed
As always, please read through the instructions before commencing any transactions, to ensure this process is the correct one for you and to ensure you have all necessary information at hand.
We also recommend a back up be processed before making any adjustments, corrections or unfamiliar transactions.
GST
Where the corporation is registered for GST special consideration will need to be taken into account regarding the date of the journal entries and if the account code to be used in either Fund has a different GST status to the original transaction.
To move transactions from one Fund to another it will be necessary to create two journal entries to correct this transaction.
Where the original transaction is in the current BAS quarter, and both the Admin account and the Sinking Fund account are with gst liability, then the gst effect is nil. You can therefore process the journals with the full transaction amount including the gst or the gst exclusive amount without the gst as you prefer. Similarly, moving the transaction in a prior period has a nil gst change effect if both of the accounts involved have the same gst status.
Creditor Payments
Follow these steps to correct creditor payments from the Admin Fund to the Sinking Fund where the GST amount will not be transferred between the funds:
1. Go to Accounting > Adjustments > Search/edit Transactions OR Formatted Reports > Detailed Expenses Report to identify the General Ledger Account and/or Codes and the amount of the transaction. Check whether any GST is involved.
2. Go to Accounting > Adjustments > Journal Entry
3. Create the following 2 journals.
Journal 1 (which reverses the expense posting to the incorrect Fund account)
Dr Account: | 121000 | Account Name: | Cash at Bank -- Admin |
Cr Account: | XXXXXXX | Account Name: | The Expense Account from the original transaction in the Admin Fund |
Date: | The date of the original transaction (or other date if appropriate) | ||

Journal 2 (which records the expense posting to the correct Fund account)
Dr Account: | XXXXXXX | Account Name: | The Expense Account in the Sinking Fund |
Cr Account: | 221000 | Account Name: | Cash at Bank – Sinking fund |
Date: | The same date as used for Journal 1 | ||
