Voiding Transactions

If you find an error in a transaction, you can void the transaction in one of two ways: click the Void button in the transaction window or void the transaction manually. Sage 50 Accounting can void the following transactions:

  • Miscellaneous transactions
  • Sales invoices and receipts
  • Purchase invoices, and payments

Void Transactions

For transactions that include details and are in the current or previous fiscal period, you can use the Void button in the transaction window. Sage 50 Accounting automatically makes the necessary entries to quickly void the transaction.

Void Transactions Manually

You must make a manual void when you no longer have the transaction details in your company file, or if the transaction is not from the current or previous fiscal period. If you find an error in a transaction after its details have been cleared, you must void it manually, and then enter the correct transaction details. You cannot delete transactions.
