Void or reprint a check

Steps

1. Open Checks and choose Register. Choose the bank account and, if needed, the From and To dates to find the check.
2. Choose Void on a check that must not be paid. The payment entry is reversed; the number stays in the register marked void and is never reused.
3. Choose Reprint on a check that printed badly or was lost. It goes back in the print queue with a new number; the old number is retired as spoiled.
4. Open Print queue to print it again, and confirm the numbers when asked whether the checks printed correctly.
5. Check Register under Reports lists every number, including gaps, for your records.

What you should see

The register shows the void or the reprint with its new number; the vendor balance and bank account reflect the correction.

If it goes wrong

If the check has already cleared the bank, do not void it in Qetaab — the money left. Record what actually happened (a refund, or a second payment) instead.
