Voiding Posted Check

asah

Trying to Void a posted check and when doing so I get the following error message "Statement Status must be equal to 'Open" in Check Ledger Entry". Please help.

It means you have either an open bank statement with this check, or this check has been reconciled during the bank reconciliation process.

What do you mean by an "open bank statement"? Is it that the bank reconcilliation has begun which includes this check but was not completed? In essence, someone begin the bank reconcilliation process - right? The other explination I get, the check has already been reconcilled. If either is the case, how do you void the check?

Alex_Chow

If the check has not be reconciled, delete any open bank statements and try voiding again.

If it's been reconciled, then you need to fire the person doing your bank rec.

Can I just have them post the bank rec and then void the check?

As long as the check is not cleared, then yes.
