If necessary, you can void system-generated or handwritten checks, or you can delete a handwritten check, a cash payment, or a saved but unprinted check.
You can view and access system-generated checks from the Check List or Check Register, or saved handwritten checks and cash payments from the Check Register, and delete them or void them from the Enter Check screen.
Voiding a check creates a reversing entry, and a record of the check is retained. Deleting a check purges it from the system.
You can delete a saved check that has not yet been recorded in the system or printed. There is no need to void such a check as it has not been issued by the system yet.
To void or delete a check or delete a cash payment:
1. Select Check Register from the Banking menu to open the Check Register page.
Alternatively, for system-generated, saved checks, you can select Check Printing from the Banking drop-down menu to open the Check Printing screen.
2. Select the number of the check or cash payment to be deleted or voided from the Printed Checks panel on the Check Register screen.
Note: Checks that have been saved but not yet printed have no check number assigned. Select the word None in the Number column of the Checks to be Printed panel on the Check Printing screen.
The Enter Check screen appears, displaying information for the selected check or cash payment.
3. Click the Delete or Void button at the bottom of the screen to purge or void a check, and click OK when prompted to confirm the deletion or void operation.
The Void button appears only for checks that have been recorded.
The check or cash payment you selected is deleted or voided as you specified.
§ If you deleted a check or cash payment, it is purged from the system.
§ If you voided a check, a reversing entry appears in the Printed Checks panel of the Check Register screen, indicating that the original check has been voided.
