I voided checks in the wrong period - how can I correct this?

Question:

I voided checks in the wrong period - how can I correct this?

Resolution:

The AP check voids to the wrong period  can be changed by using the Change period for entries in the General Ledger (GL Year end Processing Menu option 2-Change period for GL entries (Edit).

You will need to key in the book code, for voids  __DJ, then press F15 and key in the From (wrong period) and the correct period. Press enter 2X,  this will give you an edit list of items that will be changed. Please review this edit listing carefully.

When you have checked the edit listing carefully you can take Option 4 from the Year end Processing menu Change period for GL entries (Update).

You can ONLY change periods for JE's  with unique book codes or descriptions in a period.

This will reverse the entries out of the wrong period and put them in the right one, with GL proofs for both periods.

This can only be done if the entries to be moved are unique in the "From period"

To see more about voids and accounting periods used please go to the Accounts Payable Manual page 63 and the General Ledger Manual, change periods on page 75.
