Void / Cancel a cheque

Void / Cancel a cheque

Does the Cheque Form Part of a Bank Reconciliation?

A. If the cheque transaction does NOT form part of a previously recorded bank reconciliation:

  1. Highlight the required cheque transaction in Cashbook.
  2. Click the Void button.
  3. Click Yes to confirm.

A transaction that has been "voided" will remain in the list of transactions (displayed in a contrasting colour) but at a zero amount so that totals are not affected.
This procedure is useful for recording cancelled cheques but maintaining the continuity of cheque numbers in the accounting system.
B. If the cheque DOES form part of a previously reconciled Bank Reconciliation:
  1. Add a payment on the Cashbook screen, and using the same account code as the first cheque. 
  2. Enter a minus amount to counter the unwanted cheque.
