Void a Check

Void the Check

If you need to void a check that you have previously written, whether in the current month or in a previous, already closed month, go to Accounting / Void a Check.

1. Use the sort options to find and select the check you wish to void.
2. Verify that the date and memo accurately record what you are doing.
3. Click OK.
4. Verify the information in the pop-up, and click OK again.

The check you selected has been recorded as void. Jewel will either edit the check to make the amounts $0 (if the check is in the current month) or record a new transaction in the current month to cancel out the check that you're voiding.

Reconcile the Voided Check

In the Bank Reconciliation, you will then mark off the $0 check, or both the original check and the new reversing transaction, to remove them from the list of checks waiting to be cleared. Since the total amount you are checking off is $0, it will not affect your balance.
