  • You can enter NSF transactions in the Clients & Matters and Bank Reconciliation features.
  • NSF transactions can be reversed using the Find feature.  In Find, select the NSF transaction type, enter your search criteria and click Find.  Once you have found the transaction you can right click on it or select the menu to reverse it.
