Voiding a check from 2007

We have two checks from 2007 that were lost by the recipients, and of course they show up as unreconciled. I have voided them through accounts payable, but I'm unsure whether to post them in Fund Accounting in the current month or the month in which they were written. I will be reissuing them and the new checks will be current month, but I'm not sure about the ramifications of the posting month for the voided checks.

Thanks for any advice!

If you void and reissue them in the same month, the two transactions will nullify each other and not affect that month's balances. As long as you use the same month for both halves of the transaction, it doesn't really matter which month you post them to.

Thanks, Zorak. That makes sense!
