QuickBooks 2006 For Dummies
Voiding a Transaction in QuickBooks
Adapted From: QuickBooks 2006 For Dummies

If you've changed your mind about a transaction after you've put it into your QuickBooks Checking register, you can void or delete it. What's the difference? If you want to keep a record of the transaction but want to render it meaningless, then you void the transaction. But if you want to obliterate the transaction as if it never happened, you delete it.

Decide to void to delete, and then follow these steps:

  1. Find the transaction in the register.

  2. Choose Edit, Delete Check or Edit, Void Check; and then click the Record button.

There, the deed is done. If you voided the transaction, the word VOID appears in the Memo column. If the check had been deleted, it wouldn't even show up in the register. An alternate method is to select the check in the register or on the check screen, then right-click and choose Void Check from there.
