What is the difference between voiding a check/transaction versus deleting a check/transaction. We have a few checks that were issued when we very first started using quick books. These checks were for some payroll liabilities such as child support payments. I believe there was a payment made through the bank and there was also a check processed through the liabilities payment process of QB. We have verified with the agencies that they have been paid, but we still show a few very old outstanding checks when we do the bank reconciliation each month. We need to remove these check from QB but i do not want to mess up the liabilities system.
My thought was to either delete or void these old outstanding checks but i do not know what it will do to the liabilities system if I do that.
Hi there, vgardner218.
Voiding changes the amount of the check to zero but keeps a record of the transaction in your books. Deleting on the other hand removes the transaction entirely in QuickBooks. It also causes the bill(s) paid to return to unpaid status.
If you will be deleting or voiding the liability checks, the child support payments will become unpaid in the Payroll Center. To fix the issue, you can create a prior payment. Then, select the Affect liability accounts but not the bank account option.
Here's how:
