    Hi Antoinette,

    The best way to fix that type of error is to recapture the payment, exactly as you did when you captured the duplicate payment, but with a minus sign in front of the amount. Make sure you use the same reference as the duplicate payment, so that the duplicate payment and the correcting entry will consolidate and offset each other in the bank reconciliation screen.

    You can open a general ledger account called rounding differences or you can just allocate it to bank charges.
