Voided forms
When a check is printed, its check number is assigned to the payment. A bank transaction that references the check number is created when the corresponding GL entry is merged. If a preprinted check form is lost, torn, voided, misprinted, or allocated for handwritten checks, you can use the Voided Forms window to document these other "uses" of the forms.
In a few circumstances, ActivityHD records the voided forms for you:
- When an operator overrides the default beginning check number when printing checks.
- When the last number is changed on a check register.
- When a new check register is created with a gap reason.
Voided forms reference a bank account, but they are not included in reconciliation because they do not have an amount, they do not appear on a bank statement, and they are not actually posted to the General Ledger.
A voided forms record that is manually entered can be edited; however, only the memo on a system-generated voided forms record can be edited.
Manually voided forms can be recorded and edited as needed.
- In the Navigation pane, highlight the Bank Reconciliation > Voided Forms folder.
- Click
. The New Voided Form window opens.
- In the Beginning Number and Ending Number fields, enter the range of check numbers to void. If you need to void a single check, enter the same number in both fields.
- In the Bank Account field, select the bank account associated with the voided check(s).
- In the Reason field, enter the reason for voiding the check(s).
- Save the voided forms record.
Voided form records can be deleted at any time whether they were system-generated or entered manually.
To delete a voided forms record, highlight the voided forms record in the HD view and click , or open the voided forms record and select
> Edit > Delete. In either case, ActivityHD prompts you to confirm your action. Click Delete to delete the voided forms record.
