Voiding Checks

After printing a check, you can’t change the payee information. If you have printed a check and then notice that you incorrectly entered the payee information, void the check and then create a new check for the payee.

To void a check:

1. In the Brass Jacks Bookkeeper workspace, click Check Payment in the Payables section. In the Non-Payroll Checks dialog box, click Find at the bottom.
   or
   Choose Search > Checks (Non-Payroll).
2. In the Search Criteria Selection for Checks dialog box, specify information in the filters at the top of the dialog box to locate that transaction. (For details, see Finding Saved Checks.)
3. When you locate the check, select it and click Detail.
4. In the Non-Payroll Checks dialog box, select Void from the Status list in the upper-right corner.
5. Click Save.

This process credits the amount of the check back to the proper account. You should then create a check with the correct information. See Paying Bills by Check for details.
