The user can cancel cheques by highlighting the particular cheque entry. This option is only for AP cheques that have not been presented in the bank reconciliation.

 

You can tell if you have presented a cheque by looking at the Presented and Presented Date column under Cheque History.

 

If the Pres is Y or M and the Presented Date column is populated with a date, then this cheque has been presented in the bank reconciliation.

If you have already presented the cheque in the bank reconciliation, please visit this guide here as you may still be able to cancel it: Cancelling a Presented Cheque.

 

Instructions on how to cancel a Cheque:

1. In order to cancel a Cheque it must be posted down from Cheque Posting.

7. The Cheque Cancel/Re-Issue window will appear.

 

8. If you want to re-issue and modify the Invoice attached to the Cheque, tick the Re-issue Cancelled Cheque check box.
