Voided Check

How do you void a check in MLS ?

The instructions for voiding a check in MLS are in RKATS at this location:

Thank you. The check I need to void was incorrectly printed (fed to printer upside down). The next two printed checks were then off by one check number. Is there a way to reassign these checks to the correct check numbers?

I would say all three checks are spoiled and should be voided. Then print three new checks.

Hi. With the online check payments (from web browser not MLS) how do you void a check?

If the check has not yet been approved and printed, you can reject the expense in LCR Finance. If the check has been printed, but has not yet cleared, I assume you should be able to void the check using LCR Finance as well. I don't have any checks that have not yet cleared, so I can't test my theory.

This is correct. If the check has not been printed the expense should be rejected. During the print process there is a popup dialog box asking if the check printed correctly. You can redo the print by clicking the NO button. But if you hastily clicked the YES button then the check can be voided at any time before the check has cleared at headquarters. Voiding is done by going to the Expenses Summary tab, clicking the reference number (the check number for checks), and then clicking the Void button, You will get a list of conditions, just as you did in MLS, under which the check can be voided.

If I’ve voided a check (check was lost and never cashed) in LCR finance, do I still need to notify church headquarters regarding the voided check or is the voiding process in LCR sufficient?

The voiding process is sufficient now-a-days. I had one a few months ago. I voided it and then called GSC and when they checked it was already cancelled and they didn't have to do anything.

Does anyone know how to "unvoid" a check mistakenly voided in LCR or is this a SLC issue?

You can call SLC and see if they can reverse it. But if the bank has already been informed you'll probably just have to reissue the check.

Was the check printed before it was voided? If so, then follow the process described in the Help center article Voiding a Check. That article describes the process when using MLS but similar procedures apply for LCR.

If the check wast not printed then the expense can be canceled, or rejected, to edit the transaction or to start over.

Hi. While waiting to finalize an expense reimbursement and print a check, I accidentally printed a finance report onto the check blank that I had put into the paper tray in preparation of completing the reimbursement. Then when finally printing the reimbursement check I advanced the check number by one, due to the previously spoiled check blank. How do I void that spoiled check blank in the finance system? The specific check number was never recorded as being used because I advanced the reimbursement to the next unspoiled check number. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

It has been over a year since I was ward clerk, but I think you don't "void" the spoiled check number in the computer - you need to specify the next check number when printing again (it should default to the wrong number when you are entering the information and you simply enter the correct number from your good check stock before hitting the Print button). That will match things back up on the computer. You should save the spoiled check with your files for the next audit. We would write "void" across the page, tear off the bank information at the bottom and shred that, and then file the spoiled check in numerical order with the reimbursement documents.

That is correct. You don't have to void the unused check number. Just make sure future checks get printed with the correct number. However, as for the check itself the instructions are to cut out just the signature portion of the check and discard it. The reset of the check should be retained in the records as indicated.
