How to void check from previous fiscal year?

Hello!

I need to void a few checks from our previous fiscal year. How do I ensure it will post to current fiscal year?

Thanks, Pam

    before voiding the check you should check your user options in AP as you can set the reversal date default to a setting where you get to choose the date :
    AP>Click Tools>Options

    On the Records tab of the pop up window, highlight the row for “Payment”.
    on here there are 2 fields Default void date and Default reversal post date.
    I would set both of these how you would like. If you want the ultimate control set it to the value
    of <Blank> , this means FE does not assume a date and anytime you void a check , the void date and the reversal date will prompt you to enter the desired date, regardless of what the original post date was.

    Prior to posting to GL, run the validation report to verify if they're posting to the correct fiscal year.

    Based on recent transactions, I observed the day I void checks is the default posting date.

    Edit it if you want to use a different date.
