Expense

There was an expense that was mistakenly placed in 2 times in error, both expenses were approved by the bishop. How do I go in and delete the 1 expense that was duplicated?

You didn't mention whether the payment was by check or by EFT. An EFT payment cannot be deleted after the bishop's approval. A Check can be voided as long as the procedures in the Help Center article, Voiding a Check, are followed. Essentially this involves returning the check to the clerk; the clerk voiding it in LCR Finance; removing the signature blocks on the check; writing 'VOID' in large letters across the check, and attaching the voided check to the batch report for the check.

In the case of the EFT payment, the payee will have to use a paper Tithing and Other Offerings slip to return the extra payment. The payee fills out the slip with the budget category written in the 'Other' block on the slip and enter the returned amount in the block to the right. Returns of this extra payment cannot be made online since there is to provision to do this.

This happened to us last year.

@jdlessley is spot on (and normally, you don't accept donations into a budget category, however, this is one instance where it is allowed to deposit funds into the budget category from which the expense was originally paid).
