void_receipt_mutation

void_receipt mutation

In cash receipting, a void_receipt mutation refers to an operation or command used to cancel or invalidate a receipt that was previously issued. The receipt is not deleted from the system. 

The term mutation is used in systems that use operations that change data (as opposed to queries that read data). 

A void_receipt mutation: 

  • Marks the receipt as void in the database.

  • Prevents the receipt from affecting financial totals, reporting, or reconciliation. 

  • Preserves an audit trail, showing who voided the receipt, when, and possibly why. 

 

When you would use void_receipt:

  • Wrong payer or amount was entered.

  • Duplicate receipt was issued. 

  • Payment was returned or rejected, such as a bounced check. 

  • Clerical error, such as the wrong fund, department, or project code. 

  • Cancelled transaction, such as a community center reservation that was never finalized. 

 

 

The void_receipt mutation is included in the 2025.11 release.
