Is the only way to void historical/open series of transactions (misprinted checks, for example) in GP-2013 really to void each transaction individually by vendor? Prior to GP2013 we were able to observe a whole range of transactions and select all of those we wanted to void at one time.

I have R2 installed and I didn't even check that - when you open the screen, the Vendor ID field shows as required - so I assumed that it was! So I think that product suggestion update needs to ask for the field to not show as required for future releases.

This is resolved in GP 2013 R2. You can void a list of Historical Transactions regardless of the vendor id.
I am on GP2013 SP2 and vendor ID is required field, by current release you mean GP2013 R2?
There was a change made due to the customer feedback to allow the user to bypass the vendor ID field. Once you do this, you have the ability to void a range of documents again. If you are on a current release of Dynamics GP2013, you will have this functionality.
In GP 2013, that has been the new introduced behavior of the void historical payable transactions. Unlike what was initially expected, the reaction of the clients for such limitation was not positive. Several cases have been opened on MS connect complaining about this new feature which comes with considerable limitation. It was said that clients were not quite happy with the new range of "documents", while the old fashioned range of "vendors" have been taken out of the system. See below cases;
Heather Roggeveen sheds a light on an important point which is the purpose beyond this new feature which comes with an obvious limitation. I personally agree that this would have been the purpose. Throughout the various project phases of implementation, I never talk about the void as a feature especially for accountants, even through the training or GO-live support, I try as much as possible to enhance the behavior and norm that posted transactions can not be revoked.
In case you want the feature to reconsider adding the range of vendors, vote on MS connect to share you opinion. Microsoft has always considered the opinions provided on MS connect and this could make a difference if widely required by clients.
Your feedback is highly appreciated,
You are right by the looks - I hadn't noticed that that had changed. You were in the past able to void one of them (I think historical) by a range of numbers. That has changed.
I suspect this change has been made deliberately to make it more difficult to void. This would be about the fact that if a cheque has been released, there are very few cases where it can be voided. They also introduced the warning message for presented cheques, so the coding for that may have also been behind the change.
You can still however use the Reprint Cheques function while you are doing a cheque run that will enable the void at the time and reprint of the cheques. Good practise is to not process the posting of the payment batch until the cheques have finished printing.
Cheers
Heather
