If you need to delete a reserve in Scribe Accounts, it's important to follow the correct procedure to ensure that all associated elements are properly handled. Below are the steps to delete a reserve, particularly if it has an opening balance or any reserve transfers attached to it.

Steps to Delete a Reserve

1. Check for Reserve Transfers:

   • Before deleting a reserve, ensure that there are no reserve transfers associated with it. If there are, you must delete these transfers first.

2. Edit Linked Cost Codes:

   • If there are any "spend" or "receipt" transactions linked to the reserve, you will need to edit the corresponding cost codes before proceeding.

3. Edit the Opening Balance:

   • Navigate to the Set-up section and select Reserves.
   • Find the reserve you wish to delete and click on it to edit.
   • Overwrite the created date by typing the same date again. As you start typing, the opening balance box will reappear.
   • Set the opening balance to £0.00.

4. Delete the Reserve:

   • Once the opening balance is set to £0.00, you can now delete the reserve.
