Re: NaN, AP account credited twice after trying to correct wrong 'Payment' entry

Hi (Chris),

not so long ago there was an issue with 'NaN' in the amount field, where
the source field contained the amount. This was supposed to be solved by
issuing the psql statements:

SELECT trans_id FROM acc_trans WHERE source = '1,893.00';

to find the affected trans_id which turned out to be 15956, and

UPDATE acc_trans SET amount = 1893 WHERE amount = 'NaN' AND trans_id =
15956;

to fix the wrong entry.
However, after doing this, the AP account (2100) wasn't balanced: The
'purchases account (5010) is debited, the cash account (1010) is
credited, which both seem to be right, but the Accounts Payable account
(2100) is credited twice.
Should the AP account not be credited once and debited once to reflect
the completed payment?
And how would I correct that with a psql statement?

can you send me:

SELECT * FROM acc_trans WHERE trans_id = 15956 ORDER BY entry_id

My thinking is from what you say that is right, but let's identify the row, then you can switch from credit to debit by:

If it is the AP account, it should be a debit on the payment not a credit.

UPDATE acc_trans SET amount = -1 * amount WHERE entry_id = ....

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
