Delete a Trip or Event

Delete a Trip or Event

  

Useful Information

To delete trips, you first need to reconcile any income and expenditure in Banking.
If you do not usually reconcile against a bank statement, proceed to Step 1 below to carry out a dummy reconciliation (please note that this process cannot subsequently be reversed).
If you usually reconcile against a bank statement, you must ensure the all columns in the Banking screen for the Trip cost centre are zero. You may need to wait until the transactions are cleared to enable all trips to be deleted. 
Note that it is not necessary to clear pupils' trip balances to enable trips to be deleted.

Delete a Trip or Event

 

1.  Transfer On hand funds for all cost centres to be deleted

Onhand funds need to be banked and cleared before trips and their related cost centres can be deleted. 
It might appear that there are no Onhand funds in Banking.  However, it is common that there are spurious transactions left onhand as a result of cash or cheques entered then subsequently cancelled, or cash transactions entered and subsequently refunded.

  1. Click on the Banking tab

  2. Tick the box to the left of all the trips and cost centres you wish to subsequently delete (these should all be 0.00 amounts)

  3. At the bottom right click on Transfer to bank

  4. If you see a message saying No funds selected for transfer, click OK and proceed to section 2

  5. Otherwise, enter a deposit name such as Dummy banking and tick Use same deposit name for all if there are multiple cost centres

  6. Ensure all values are 0.00 (if not, click on Cancel and deselect any cost centres with funds Onhand)

  7. Click on Done

  8. Click Cancel to view the reports

  9. Reconcile this Dummy banking following the instructions in Section 2, selecting the 0.00 line at the bottom of the bank statement

3. Transfer Balances from Completed Cost Centres

If your school reconciles SCO against a bank statement:

Before you delete obsolete cost centres, you may wish to transfer any Cleared funds (this might be credit or debit balances).

For trips, you may wish to create a new cost centre e.g. named Completed trips.

If you do not transfer Cleared balances from the completed trip cost centres to other cost centres, they will automatically be allocated to the system cost centre Misc which shows at the bottom of the bank account on the Banking screen (see image below). Expenditure cannot be recorded from the Misc cost centre, so you must transfer the Trips funds to another cost centre before deleting the Trip. 

  1. On the Banking screen, select the cleared balance that you want to transfer by clicking on it

  2. On the View payments details window select the Transfer balance button

  3. Select the Cost centre to transfer the balance to

  4. Select any relevant Account codes (if using)

  5. The Amount will default to the balance, but this can be adjusted if not transferring the whole mount

  6. If you wish to delete the cost centre at this point, tick the box
    (Note that if the cost centre is linked to a trip, product button or pre-payment account the box will be greyed out at this stage)

  7. Repeat this process to transfer funds for any other cost centres

Handy Tip

Trips selected to Retain will show throughout the system as they did previously.
Trips selected to Hide will show in the Banking and Trips & Events screens, but not in the Income screen.
Adding a 'z' to the start of a name of a trip can help to move a trip out of the way until you need to clear them down, these can then be sorted alphabetically to help organisation.



Trips can subsequently be restored if required.  Refer to How do I restore a trip that has been deleted?
