Good morning,

During my cheque reconcilliation, I ended up clearing a cheque that should have been voided. I posted the cheque as cleared.

How can I make the adjustment?

Thanks
Robert

Hi Robert

Clearing a check and voiding a check mean the same thing in Adagio. Adagio makes a big distinction between the words void and reverse, however. Void means the check was never issued (jammed in the printer, for example); reverse means it was issued and you changed your mind.

Did you mean that you wanted to reverse the check?

Hi Steve,

During the cheque reconcilliation process in Adagio Payables, I posted was a "C" to the cheque instead of posting a "V".

The cheque was returned to us as it was sent to the wrong address.

Would that not be an error if posted incorrectly.

Robert

This makes no difference outside of the cheque reconcilliation screen.

Make the needed adjustment in your GL, re-enter the invoice and re-issue the cheque.

In future, however, you should use "Reverse" when reconciling a cheque like this. That makes the invoices it paid payable again and also genereates the correct entries to the General Ledger: much easier.

Hi Robert

You should also "Disallow void checks in reconciliation" in Payables Company Profile. There is no valid reason to void a check, since it is not functionally different than clearing a check. As Ralph states, always use the Reverse option. The only reason voiding a check is allowed dates back to a version of the software from over 12 years ago.
