# Unable to Void a Check in CHECKS.E2 After Offsetting a Prepayment and Vendor Invoice

Read Time: 2 minute(s)

# Problem Statement

Users are unable to void a check in CHECKS.E2 after a prepayment and vendor invoice have been offset. This situation arises when a prepayment is issued, a vendor invoice is posted, and the two are offset. If the vendor does not receive their check, users may find they cannot void the check due to the prior offset.


# Symptoms

  • Attempting to void a check in CHECKS.E2 fails after a prepayment and vendor invoice have been offset
  • The system does not allow the void operation due to the existing offset
  • The issue is encountered after discovering that the vendor did not receive their check

# Cause

The inability to void the check is due to the offset transaction between the prepayment and the vendor invoice. Once the debit has been applied to the invoice on a specific check, the system restricts voiding the check directly because of the linked transactions.


# Resolution Steps

1. Identify the Checks Involved

  • Determine which check applied the debit to the invoice (e.g., check A901)
  • Identify the check that needs to be voided (e.g., check 140404)

2. Void or Delete the Check That Applied the Debit

  • In CHECKS.E2, void or delete the check that applied the debit to the invoice (e.g., check A901)

3. Void the Target Check

  • After voiding or deleting the first check, proceed to void the check that could not previously be voided (e.g., check 140404)

# Verification

After completing the resolution steps, confirm the following:

  • Both checks have been successfully voided or deleted in CHECKS.E2
  • The offset between the prepayment and vendor invoice has been properly reversed
  • The vendor's account reflects the correct status after the voids

Note: Always review the transaction history and consult with your accounting team before voiding or deleting checks to ensure compliance with your organization's financial procedures.
