To void a cheque number

If you haven't already read the Spend Money Overview, see Voiding cheque numbers for more information.

Note: Voiding versus removing

The process of voiding a cheque number shouldn't be confused with the process of removing a cheque. When you void a cheque number a transaction is added to your records, but no amounts are assigned to the cheque; instead, VOID appears as the cheque's amount in the Cash Disbursements Journal. When you remove a cheque, a transaction is removed from your records.

If you've printed a cheque that you no longer want in your MYOB Accounting Plus records, you must remove the cheque transaction; you may, in addition, choose to void the cheque number.

The Spend Money window should be displayed.

  1. Choose the account of the cheque that you wish to void.
  2. Change the cheque number to the number you wish to void. Change the date to the date you want to be displayed for the voided cheque. (The date, however, isn't crucial, since no accounting transaction will be recorded.)
  3. You can make an entry in the Payee field, but it isn't required.
  4. Don't enter an account or an amount on the cheque.
  5. Click Record. A dialogue box appears, asking whether you wish to void the cheque. Click OK.
