Voiding a Check In a Closed Period

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Before I start, please be advised that I am new to GP and have not gone through any formal training on the software.  I have inherited this position and was left in the lurch when it comes to "figuring things out"

I'm trying to void a check that was written in December 2014 and never cleared the bank.  I need to void and re-issue.  

The period is, obviously, closed.  

Any suggestions?  We are using GP 2015.

    This also worked for me.  Thanks Matt.

    So just to clarify - if I open the period the original check was posted in - then void it - changing the posting dates to the current open period - it will NOT affect the closed period financials AND the voided transactions will appear only in the current open period. Is that correct?

    Just change the void and posting date to a current open period.  Those dates will default to the original document date but can be changed to what you want them to be.

    I spoke with my CFO and he states that we do not want to open the closed period and book the transaction back to 2014.  Once we have closed the period, it cannot be touched.  

    Is there another way to void the check?

    Hi,

    You need to open the Fiscal Period first (Tools | Setup | Company | Fiscal Periods) and unmark the period under Purchasing.

    Then you can refer to the link below on voiding transactions:

    support.microsoft.com/.../858373

    Make sure to close the periods again once done.
