Title: VOIDED CHECK QUESTION
Post by JereC on 09/09/14 at 12:29:04

I wrote a check in error and is on my bank reconciliation. I voided it thinking it would show a credit in the bank rec. so I could then select both a debit and credit entry to remove the check. This did not happen so what is the procedure to remove this from the bank rec?

Thanks, Jere'

We are realizing that our very outdated DBA program is just not updating after we are posting. The voided check came through on the bank rec. eventually. Very frustrating.

There was some kind of problem. Voiding an AP check (AP-Q) does make an entry to the record used for bank account reconciliation.

I haven't done one for a while, but my recollection is that you have to go further than seems necessary. That is, it might appear to be done, but if you keep pressing Enter, or click a button on the screen that says Save, or Finish, it makes the actual entry.

This may be helpful. We have noticed that when we void a check that we dont always get the opportunity to confirm. We get bounced out before the voiding takes place. If I am not sure I go back and try to void it again, just to be safe. The software will tell you if it was voided or not. I dont think you can void one twice.

Also I want to respond to another post. When we void a check the Xaction IS reflected in AP-R. You will see the check number, but the amount will be for zero.

We've never had a problem making a check void go through. Once you do it, though, both the check and the reversal will show up on deposit and check reports that you run, creating problems in those totals. In order to take care of that, go to GL-J, and run a check reconciliation. Do not enter an amount to try to balance to; just hit enter. Then tick both the check and its void, and run the reconciliation the way you normally would. When it tells you that it won't balance, and asks if you should proceed, choose yes (or OK). Opt to print the reconciliation report so you have a paper trail. You are not creating any problems in the overall picture of the account, you are just removing two entries that wash each other out, and keeping your evidence in the file cabinet (or saved to your hard drive, or both, from the print utility). Works for us.
Hope this helps!

If you ticked both the check and the void, it SHOULD balance.

Not if you just leave the ending balance at 0. If you enter the starting balance as the ending balance then it will.
