I historically voided a check to be reprinted (lost in snail mail). It is now showing up as a negative check in the end of month reconciliation. If I check it to reconcile it, I am off that amount for the month; if I don't check it I match. I am being told to check it to get rid of it, but do you think it will clear up on its own? Or is there a way to remove it?
Hi syvercat,
It seems you have voided the check, which was not appearing in your reconciliation as unreconciled transactions.
Have you first created a check in system? If yes, it should showcase as unreconciled, if not, how did you void the check?
I have this issue before when user passed negative entry in system to void past payment, but the question is did we post previous payment in system? If yes, It has to showcase as unreconciled.
If not, there is no need to pass reversal entry in the system.
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
The original check as a positive was not in the reconciliation; it only shows as a negative check to be reconciled.
It is just weird as we have never had this happen before. I historically voided 3 checks two days earlier and reprinted them and we did not have this situation.
Although, this check had been voided once prior, so this was the third time printing (second time as a reprint). I ended up doing a "Bank Transaction-Decrease Adjustment" to balance them out so we could get our month closed and on to the next month.
It was just strange as we have voided and reprinted check in the past and never had this happen.
Is the original check not on the bank reconciliation?
You would need to offset the original check with the voided check to clear the reconciliation.
