The Void Missing Checks utility allows you to void a check number so that it will be marked as voided on the Check Register Report. Use this feature with pre-printed computer checks that have not been posted to a GL account, such as if a check is damaged before being posted, or if a single check spills over onto multiple pages during printing.
Example: If check number 00015 were 3 pages long, it would be printed on checks 00015, 00016, and 00017 and the next check would then start on check number 00018. In this case you might want to void checks 00016 and 00017.
In another example, a preprinted check might be damaged before being posted through Print Checks/Post Batch. In this case, you might want to void the damaged check and destroy it.
To void a check, go to Utilities > Void Manual Checks.
Enter the following information:
Bank Code Select a bank code from the drop-down list.
Check # Enter the check number of the check that you want to void.
Check Date Enter the void date.
Reference Optionally enter any information that you would like to record regarding the voided check, for example, an explanation for why the check was voided. Information entered in this field will be included in the audit log.
Note: Once a check has been posted, it will have an affect on GL accounts. So, to void a check that has been posted already, you must use the Void Transactions tools.
