Re: Voiding and Reissuing a Check from a Previous Fiscal Year
I would think the last thing you should do is void a check to a prior period unless you planned to .... geez I cant really think of a good reason, maybe if the payee was payed in the wrong period and you wanted to correct the expense posting, that's all I can think of. Your check simply moved your liability from AP to a credit to cash and that event probably is still in the correct period.
I would advise you to void the check on current date and then re-issue. Net net is simply to extend a prior liability to allow for payment and reconciliation. I don't see where this transaction should effect any prior period as a best practice.
My two cents.
