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 Onhand 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.
Click on the Banking tab
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)
At the bottom right click on Transfer to bank
If you see a message saying No funds selected for transfer, click OK and proceed to section 2
Otherwise, enter a deposit name such as Dummy banking and tick Use same deposit name for all if there are multiple cost centres
Ensure all values are 0.00 (if not, click on Cancel and deselect any cost centres with funds Onhand)
Click on Done
Click Cancel to view the reports
Reconcile this Dummy banking following the instructions in Section 2, selecting the 0.00 line at the bottom of the bank statement
2. Reconcile the Banking
Warning: Do not proceed with this section unless you are certain that your banking is not usually reconciled against a bank statement.
If your banking is already reconciled, ensure any Dummy transfers carried out in section 1 are reconciled, then move to step 3
Click on the Banking tab
Select Check bank statement at the bottom of the screen
Select the relevant bank account
This will display a list of all the transactions you have banked but not yet reconciled

Click Save and exit at the bottom of the screen
Click Yes to confirm
Click Save and exit and then select No
In the Banking screen, all the amounts have moved into the Cleared column
3. Transfer Balances from Completed Cost Centres
If your school reconciles SCO against a bank statement:
If you usually use SCO to reconcile against a bank statement, you must transfer the Cleared balances from the trip cost centres into other cost centres, you will need to follow the step Transfer Funds Between Cost Centres. All columns in the Banking screen for the Trips cost centre must be zero before the trip is deleted (including On hand, To transfer, Banked, and Cleared).
Once complete, press your Browser's Back button to return to this page.
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.
If your school does not reconcile SCO against a bank statement:
If you do not usually reconcile your banking against a bank statement, proceed to section 4.
