If you click OK, e·silentpartner voids the check making the appropriate General Ledger entries and adjustments to the Vendor Invoices paid by this check (i.e. the Vendor Invoice period balances will be incremented by the amount paid on this check starting with the fiscal period used to void the check) and you will receive a message that the check was voided successfully.

A duplicate of the original check is created with a credit amount for the fiscal period in which the void was executed. Both the original and the void check are marked as canceled as of the date set as Use Posting Date.
