Voiding check numbers

For any number of reasons, you may want to void a check number. You may, for example, find that one of your check forms is damaged and not usable for printing, or you may realize that after printing a check for a vendor, the amount of the check is incorrect.

Since you will never use a damaged check form, you may want to void the check number. When you void a check number, no amounts are assigned to the check; instead, VOID appears as the check amount in the Cash Disbursements Journal.

If you've printed a check, a transaction using a check number has been recorded, so in addition to voiding the check number, you'll have to delete or reverse the incorrect check transaction to remove the transaction from your records. (Whether you can delete or reverse the transaction depends on whether your company file is changeable or unchangeable.) You can then enter a new, correct check transaction to replace the original transaction.

You can also use the Bank Register window to void a check number. [Spending money (Bank Register)]
