Voiding checks

After voiding all payments made to an invoice, you can void the invoice itself. Best practices in accounting procedures require that you do not void transactions that have been processed by the bank. Therefore, it is not possible to void transactions with a status of 2-Cleared.

Important! You cannot void a transaction in a different period than that in which it was originally posted.

To void a check:

Open 1-3 Journal Transactions.
Using the data control, select the record of the check (Trans#) you want to void.
Verify that the Status is 1-Open.
If necessary, from the Status list, select 1-Open.
On the Edit menu, click Void Transaction.
