Check Register Report - Voided Skipped Checks

SUGGESTED

I ran a check register report today dated for 01/01/2021-03/25/2021 and it showed a lot of voided skipped check numbers, but also showed that same check number with a vendor and a dollar amount (which is correct).  Back on our 2/19/2021 check run we had to void checks, but was advised by the Controller to go ahead and use the checks that we had voided in the Sage system.  Since then I have had 3 other check runs that were fine and the check registers were fine, but the auditors requested a check register dated from 01/01/2021 to 03/25/2021, but the 3 check runs that were previously fine showed up on the report as voided skipped as well as what showed up on the check register that was fine. What can I do to fix this?

    There is an option when starting the check register to "include voided checks"  If you unclick this option - it will not include them.

    But how do I stop the voided skipped check from appearing at all especially when these checks were never voided to begin with?

    I guess I don't understand the question.  If you unclick the option to include - It will not include.  What version are you running?

    It appears when you chose to reuse the check #, you responded YES to the prompt

    "CHECK NUMBER OUT OF SEQUENCE. The check number that you have selected is out of sequence from the last check posted. If you want to post this check and update the next check number, select Yes. To post this check but not update the next check number, select One Time. Otherwise, to stop posting, select No. Do you want to post this check and update the next check #?"

    • If 'One Time' is selected, Sage BusinessWorks does not track wasted checks.
    • If 'Yes' is selected, Sage BusinessWorks tracks the wasted check numbers. Wasted checks display on the Check Register as 'Voided/Skipped'. If the check number skipped has already been used, the check is left unchanged. When the month-end close is performed, the 'Voided/Skipped' checks no longer display on the Check Register.
    • If 'No' is selected, the process is canceled.

    Notes: To track wasted checks, the 'Track Wasted Checks' check box must be selected for that cash account in CM, Accounts, Maintain Cash Accounts. Wasted checks are the checks that go through the printer when aligning checks, or skipped when entering a new check number. This option does not void checks, it tracks the wasted checks and lists them on the Check Register. Check numbers for 'Voided/Skipped' checks can still be used by entering that check number when printing checks.

    A couple things you can try:

    Deselect ‘Include voided checks’ when running the Check Register.

    OR if you have not already closed the month, you can try closing the month and reprinting the report for the date range.  After the month end close, the ‘Voided/Skipped’ checks should no longer display on the Check Register.

    Otherwise, there is no other option from removing the items from the report.

    Sincerely,

    Coleen

    Hi Bsedore, did you untick include voided checks while performing the action?
