Thank you for your feedback
I voided the check using the original check date and I should have used today's date. How to I make a correction?
Answer:
There is no way to directly change the check void date, but fixing the dates is still possible. You need to unvoid the check and re-void it.
To unvoid the check:
To unvoid the check:
- Find the check in the Payments tab in Accounts Payable and double-click it.
- Select Unvoid payment.
- Choose an appropriate GL apply date- if the original void date was wrong, use this "wrong" date.
- Click OK. This will create the necessary journal entries and move the payment back into Open items as a negative. Ignore the potential warning.
- As a convenience, you'll have the option of running the GL edit report to post these entries right away.
- Find the check in the Payments tab in Accounts Payable and double-click it.
- Choose Void Payment.
- Choose the appropriate void date.
- Select or type in a void reason if desired.
- Do NOT create a debit memo since this decision would have been handled before.
- Click OK. This will create the necessary journal entries and will also bring the Open item back up to the previous value.
- As a convenience, you'll have the option of running the GL edit report to post these entries.
