Process a Simple Void

A Simple Void is used to void a check that has not been recorded in the checkbook and to maintain the proper check sequence and show the check number in the checkbook as voided.  This is usually because the physical paper check has been destroyed, ripped, or made unusable in some way.

Horizon recommends that users use the TAB key to move from field to field on the voucher entry screen.

  1. Under Trans Type, select “Simple Void” and TAB
  2. Select a Vendor #.  It is recommended that you have a vendor called “Void”, a "Misc" vendor, or you could also use an internal vendor created for your own company for this purpose.
  3. Select an appropriate Paygroup for the checkbook you wish to void the check in.
  4. In the “Invoice Date” and “GL Date” fields, the current date would be appropriate or use the date of date of checks already written that this check number is with the check number sequence.
  5. In the “Invoice Description” field, you should type Void Check or a more descriptive term as to why the check is being voided.  
  6. The Invoice Amount should be $0.00.
  7. In the “Check  #” field, enter the number of the check you need to void.
  8. The Check Date should be the same as the GL date used.  
  9. Press SAVE
  10. You do not need to enter anything on the Distributions tab.  This will not post to the General Ledger, only to the checkbook.
  11. Close AP Voucher Entry if you are done entering transactions.
