Void Paychecks

How Do I...

This can be used to void payroll checks that have been posted but not cleared. You can void paychecks either from the Tasks menu or directly from the Payroll Entry window.

When you void a check

  • The original check will be marked as cleared in Account Reconciliation.
  • A copy of the original check with negative amounts will be generated. The copy will be given a number of the original check, plus a V. (For example, if the original check was 2055, then the copy will be 2055V. See the illustration below.)
  • When you view the check onscreen, the word Void appears in large red letters.
  • The new check will be marked as cleared in Account Reconciliation.
  • You will not be able to edit either the original check or the voided counterpart.
