Adjust Posted Payment

This task is used to reverse a payment entirely if you did not actually receive it or received it for the incorrect amount, or to re-apply a payment that was applied incorrectly when it was posted/processed.

You can only reverse a subsidy payment completely as if it had never been received, even if it was misapplied.  If the payment was actually received, but misapplied you will need to reverse it and then re-receive it using the Start New Payment Batch task.  Remember to use the same dates you used in the original payment batch.

You cannot reverse payments in a Subsidy-HAP Request payment batch, as HAP Requests are reconciled in Property Manager prior to posting the payment batch, ensuring that HAP subsidy payments are applied correctly.  This will prevent you from incorrectly reversing a subsidy payment that was paid as part of an approved HAP Request.
