Voiding a check is a process that needs to be followed when a mistake has been made while issuing a check. This process involves canceling the original transaction and rendering the check null and void. Voiding a check is necessary to ensure that the correct amount is debited from the account and that the transaction history accurately reflects the actual transactions.

Locate the Voided Check

To void a check you would locate the transaction by going to either "Accounting" via the left-hand navigation menu > Print Checks > Filtered > Pending > No, or Accounting > Entry > Filter.

Insert $0 as the Amount and Put a Note in the Memo

Open up the transaction, find the Amount, and put $0. Note in the Memo that the check had to be voided. Then click the "Save" button.

You can now reissue the check, following the directions here.
