Two paychecks have been assigned the same check number

MYOB AccountEdge allows you to assign the same check number to multiple paychecks. Depending upon how your preferences have been set, a message may appear to alert you when you print or record the paycheck, and you'll be given the option to cancel printing and change the number. (If this message wasn't displayed and you'd like it to be in the future, open the Preferences window, choose the Banking view and mark the "Warn for Duplicate Check Numbers" option.)

Once a paycheck is recorded, the check number can't be changed. If you didn't intend to assign a duplicate check number to the second paycheck and you wish to change it, you'll have to either delete or reverse the paycheck, then reenter it with the correct information. Whether you will need to delete the paycheck or reverse it depends upon how your preferences have been set. (For more information, see What are changeable and unchangeable transactions?)
