How do I void a check? (2023.11)

Create a reversing entry for a check. 

A void check is a check that is printed or partially printed that is canceled or deleted by the maker of the check before the check has been cashed. Void a check when a check is issued for the wrong amount, issued to the wrong vendor, issued to a paid invoice, or issued and the check remains outstanding. On the other hand, if a check is lost or damaged, you need to void the check and reset the check number.

When you void a check that has already been printed, Connect will create a reversing entry on the current date. If the check has NOT been printed, use the Void and Reset option in the Print Checks report.

Running this program will perform these functions

  • Copy the information from the original check detail to the new check.

  • Use the current date as the Check Date.

  • Append "Void" to the beginning of the check description. Both check will be marked as Void.

 

Note: If you need to change the information on a check after it has printed, first you need to void the check and then you can create a new check.
