A scanned check was read wrong

Reading handwriting isn't perfect. Fix the amount before you record — or fix the gift afterwards.

    Before recording: look for yellow

    Yellow boxes are fields Yahiv wasn't sure about. If the number box and the written words disagree it says so, e.g. "(the number box says $180, the words say $18)". Trust the words line — that's what the bank pays.

    Yellow fields need a look before recording.

    Open the picture

    Tap the picture to see it full size and read it yourself.

  3. 3

    Fix and record

    Type the right amount, check # or date, and press Record.

    Fix the amount before pressing Record.
  4. 4

    Already recorded?

    Open the gift (Giving → the gift) → "Fix a mistake" → change the "Amount" (or Check #, Date) → "Save changes".

    Fix a mistake on the gift page.
  5. 5

    Wrong person?

    On the same box, "Belongs to (move to another person)" → pick the right person → Save changes.

Tips

  • If a receipt already went out with the wrong amount, resend the receipt from the gift page after fixing it.
  • Already deposited? Fix the gift anyway — the deposit total updates.

If something isn't working

The amount box can't be changed on the gift.

Card and processor gifts can't be changed. A scanned check can — make sure you opened the right gift.

The check bounced because it was really less.

On the gift, mark it bounced (the Deposit buttons), then record the right amount as a new check.
