Void Disbursement Checks

How Do I...

This can be used to void accounts payable checks with check numbers that have been posted but not cleared. You can void checks either from the Tasks menu or directly from either the Payments or Write Checks window.

When you void a check:

  • The original check will be cleared in Account Reconciliation.
  • A copy of the original check with the amounts negated will be generated. The copy will be given a number of the original check, plus a V. (For example, if the original check was 108, then the copy will be 108V.)
  • When you view the check onscreen, the word Void appears in large red letters.
  • The new check will be marked as cleared; this is for bank-reconciliation purposes.
