What is the correct way to reverse a paycheck? It was set up incorrectly and not caught also not cashed. Thank you in advance.

Basically, it works the same as Accounts Payable.

In Payroll, head to Maintain List of Employees, locate the employee in question, then head to the Check History tab. Highlight the check in the list of checks, then click on the VOID button.

I'm guessing its not going to reissued so just click on the OK button when the acknowledgement pop-up appears. Then go to Post Payroll. If the check has not yet been posted to Funds Accounting, and there are other checks in the unposted payroll, uncheck all the other checks, check the one to be voided, and change the Posting Option to Post to Payroll Module only. This will update the payroll records, obviously if it was already posted to Funds Accounting, you would want to post it there, and then post Funds Accounting.

Simple.

One thing, I forget if posting the the Payroll module only also voids the check in the system, so next time you print checks, make sure you verify the check number before you print.
