Check or Electronic Payment Corrections in Auditor

Making Corrections

For most changes, go to Reports & Graphs / Checks. Click on the check you wish to correct, then click Edit Check. Make your changes, and click OK to finish.

If you need to change the date in a previous month, or from one month to another, go to the back end. Click Auditor, click View Journal, and find the check you wish to correct. Change both the AccountingDate and the Date to the correct values. Click Close twice to return to the front end.

If you need to correct a check number, that can usually be done in the front end. Duplicate numbers can be entered in View Journal in the back end if necessary. And the back end is generally easier when changing multiple numbers at once.

Duplicate Checks or Electronic Payments

If your duplicate check uses a check number that you wish to use for a real check, then go to Reports & Graphs / Checks. Click on the check whose number you need to re-use, then click Edit Check. Check the Electronic Payment box, and click OK to save the change. Then continue to Void a Check (below) to void the duplicate.

If your duplicate is an electronic payment or if you do not need to re-use the check number, simply go to Void a Check (below) to void the duplicate.

Void a Check

If a check will never clear the bank (it was destroyed, replaced, should never have been written, etc), go to Accounting / Void a Check. Use the options on the screen to search for and select the check you wish to void. Verify that the memo reads as you wish, then click OK. Jewel will zero out the values on the check. In the Bank Reconciliation, you will then mark off the $0 check, to remove it from the list of checks waiting to be cleared.

Remittance Checks

Remittance checks can only be corrected by technical support, even if the month is not yet closed.
