Void Payments (Desktop)

Use Void Payments in the desktop application to void a paper check or electronic funds transfer payment.

You can void the following items:

  • An vendor payment for an AP voucher
  • An employee expense payment
  • An employee paycheck (if you own Payroll)
  • A manual check issued through a cash disbursement or an accounts payable disbursement

You can void an item if it has not cleared at the bank to which it was posted. When you void an item, its status returns to Processing and you can then reprocess it.

Void a payment, for example, if you must re-issue a check because the original was lost, destroyed, or written for the wrong vendor or voucher. Vantagepoint posts the amount of the voided check to the general ledger and reverses the effect of the original check posting.

If you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint, ensure that the active company is the one in which the payment was created. If it is not, you do not have approval to access the payment, and it is possible that you do not have approval to access the bank code for the bank on which the payment is drawn. For example, if company A is the active company when you create a miscellaneous expenses transaction file, then you must be logged in to company A to edit or post the file.

To change the active company in the browser application, click the name of the current company on the toolbar and select a company from the drop-down list. To change the active company in the desktop application, select Utilities > Change Company and then select a company on the Company Selection dialog box.
