Voiding Checks for Accounts Payable
For more information, see Voiding Checks.
Changing an Incorrect Check Number
You cannot change a check number once it is used. So, to correct an incorrect check number, you need to void the check and then reissue it with a new or modified check number. (You cannot reuse a check number.)
If the check has already been cashed and you just need to correct the information in your books without printing a new check, you can use the Demand Check Writer or the 2-Step Method for Payables to issue a new check.
Use the same check number with the suffix “.1” (for example, 1234.1). This helps you easily identify checks that had to be reissued. Then, select not to print the check (by selecting Do Not Print). This will create transaction entries in the appropriate ledgers but will not actually issue a check.
Deleting Checks
As long as a check is not reconciled or billed, you can delete it.
NOTE: Deleting a voided check deletes both the original check entry and the voided check entry.
