How to reverse a check?

1 On the Account Payable Main menu, click Manual Check Entry.

2 At the Bank Code field, enter the bank code representing the check entry to reverse.

3 At the Check Number field, enter the check number of the check to reverse. The "Is this a check reversal?" dialog box appears. Click Yes.

4 If the Track Detailed Invoice/Payment History check box is selected in Accounts Payable Options, a dialog box appears prompting you to recall the original invoices. Click Yes to recall the original invoices that were paid on that check.

If there are missing invoices, the invoice numbers are displayed and the invoices must be manually reentered and distributed. If the check was for G/L distribution only, an invoice will be created and posted to the vendor's Open Invoice file. The invoice number would be CKXXXX, where XXXX is the check number.
To avoid posting an open invoice to the vendor's Open Invoice file, click No, select the G/L Distribution Only check box, and manually type the negative check amount.

If the Track Detailed Invoice/Payment History check box is cleared in Accounts Payable Options, you must manually recall the original invoices. If the check being reversed was originally a check distribution to general ledger, or if the invoices included on the check reversal are no longer in history, select the G/L Distribution Only check box on the Manual Check Entry Header tab to distribute the negative check amount to the appropriate expense account(s).

If you do not select the G/L Distribution Only check box on the Manual Check Entry Header tab, then the Cash account is debited and the Accounts Payable account is credited. In addition, an open invoice is created for the reversed check.

NOTE A warning message appears if you attempt to reverse a check that has been reversed. A warning also appears if the check has been voided.
