Clear & Void AP Checks for Non-Posted Transactions

You can clear or void checks for non-posted AP payment transactions using the AP Check Print form.

Non-posted AP check transactions appear in the AP Payment Posting form. Use that form to process and post the transactions after you print checks. For more information, see AP Payment Posting.
Some examples of when you might need to clear or void checks are:

  • Situation 1: All the checks that have printed so far are wrong (the check numbers in the system do not match the check stock in the printer). In this case, you will need to stop the printing before the check run is finished, void or clear checks as necessary, and then print the checks again.

  • Situation 2: After the checks finish printing, you notice a problem (such as a printer jam) occurred part way through the check run and checks are ruined and/or printed incorrectly. ​In this case, you will need to void the checks and then print them again.

  1. From the main menu, select Accounts Payable > Programs > AP Payment Posting.
