Will it affect my application?

Hi, 

My partner and I are in the middle of a mortgage application and they have requested 3 months bank statements. Last month one of my partner's standing orders bounced as the account was short by 90p. The standing order was to a friend's business who has been doing some work for us. The payments were a basic standing order covering 3 months and it was a friendly verbal agreement, so nothing has shown up on our credit scores and we incurred no bank fees/charges. We both have excellent credit scores and both have never had a late payment in 7 years. The standing order bouncing is the only blemish on our bank statements and it was quickly correct and paid. Will this affect our application? 

Thanks
