Steps to void and reuse the check numbers



Description of Issue

We need to void checks but reuse the check numbers



Context
  • Accounts Payable

  • Checks

  • Void



Cause

Posted Invoice to the wrong year and period



Resolution

Cash disbursement journals should not be reversed. Checks should be voided and reissued in the correct period.

  1. Void Check

  2. Post Cash Disbursements

  3. Clear Check in AP Check Reconciliation

  4. Purge check number so they can be reused

  5. Update the invoice in Invoice Maintenance if needed adding the Warrant number back onto it

  6. Use Manual Single in Automated Checks to assign the same check number to the invoice 

  7. Post Cash Disbursement
