We printed a couple checks and then found out we did not need to issue them. My a/p person did a recall check I believe is what she did and it looks ok in a/p. However when I look in g/l under the acct number it was posted to, the expense is still showing in the acct. I see debit and a credit in the detail of the a/p acct in g/l, but not in the expense acct it was charged to. Did we miss a step or am I missing something?

We are on Adagio Payables 8.1C and Ledger 9.0C

Please describe in detail the steps you did to create a 'recall check'. This is not a term used in the Adagio world.

If a check was 'Voided', no GL activity would be generated. You would have to create a journal entry in GL to correct the bank and the expense account.

If you want to reverse a check and also generate the required GL activity, it is better to 'Reverse' the check instead of 'Void' it. This also restores invoices paid by the check back to the original amount.

In addition, if the check was a Cash Invoice for a vendor on file, then there is an option to Reverse the expenses as well as the payment. Reversing expenses always happens for cash invoices to miscellaneous vendors.

Should you need more explanation, please post more details about the type of check that was originally posted and how it was 'recalled', as Doug indicted.
