Voiding versus deleting a check

The process of voiding a check number shouldn't be confused with the process of deleting a check.

When you void a check number a transaction is added to your records, but no amounts are assigned to the check; instead, VOID appears as the check's amount in the Cash Disbursements Journal.

When you delete a check, a transaction is deleted from your records.

For example, if you've printed a check that you no longer want in your MYOB AccountEdge records, you must delete or reverse the check transaction in order to remove the effects of the transaction from your company file. You may, in addition, choose to void the check number.
