To void a check number

If you haven’t already read the Spend Money Overview, see Voiding check numbers for more information.

Note: Voiding versus removing

 The process of voiding a check number shouldn’t be confused with the process of removing a check. When you void a check number a transaction is added to your records, but no amounts are assigned to the check; instead, VOID appears as the check’s amount in the Cash Disbursements Journal. When you remove a check, a transaction is removed from your records.

If you’ve printed a check that you no longer want in your MYOB AccountEdge records, you must remove the check transaction; you may, in addition, choose to void the check number.

The Spend Money window should be open.

  1. Choose the account of the check that you wish to void.

  2. Change the check number to the number you wish to void. Change the date to the date you want to be displayed for the voided check. (The date, however, isn’t crucial, since no accounting transaction will be recorded.)

  3. You can make an entry in the Payee field, but it isn’t required.

  4. Don’t enter an account number or an amount on the check.

  5. Click Record. A dialog box appears, asking whether you wish to void the check. Click OK.
