Follow these steps to void a payroll or vendor check printed in the current month:

  1. When the Payroll Check Entry window (or the Vendor Checks window) is active, choose Edit > Void or choose Void from the F3 or right-click context menu.
  2. In the left pane of the Void dialog, double-click each check that you want to void to move it to the Selected pane on the right.
  3. Choose the action you wish to perform for the selected checks - Void, Void and duplicate, or Void and delete.
  4. Click the Void button.
  5. Click the Close button to return to the Payroll Check Entry window (or the Vendor Checks window).
    • If you chose Void, the printed check will be marked as void and the YTD amounts will be adjusted.
    • If you chose Void and duplicate, the printed check will be marked as void and an exact copy of the check will be entered into the application as a new (unprinted) check record. You may then edit the new check record as necessary. The voided check will remain in the application as a zero amount check.
    • If you chose Void and delete, the YTD amounts will be adjusted accordingly and the check record will be deleted from the application.
  6. Open the Print Checks dialog and select the corrected check for printing.

The void-and-duplicate feature is enabled only in the latest period. If necessary, you may void a check while working in a prior period, but the application does not allow you to void and duplicate a check while working in a prior period. As an alternative, however, you may void and then recreate the check as a handwritten check while in a prior period.
