Action: Void Checks/Invoices >> Void Checks

There will be occasions when a handwritten or computer generated check must be voided due to the check having been lost in the mail or because of an error on the check. This Module step will allow you to void a check by choosing the general ledger account number, then double-clicking on the line of the check you wish to void. The checks are listed on the screen in descending check number order. 

The system will restore all transactions (invoices) that are associated with the selected check. All general ledger transactions will be reversed automatically and the invoices will again appear as unpaid items in accounts payable. The dollar amount of the check will be posted as a debit to the appropriate bank general ledger account. The check number will show as voided when you print a check register.

Checks that have been marked as clearing the bank will not display on the Void Vendor Checks screen.
