Void a Printed Check

Void a printed check in DoorLoop for a check that was written incorrectly, sent to the wrong address, or lost in the mail.

Overview

If a check needs to be voided — whether it was written for the wrong amount, sent to the wrong address, or lost in the mail — you can record that a check used to pay an expense or a bill was voided in DoorLoop with a single click.

Doing so puts the money back into the account the funds were taken from, and adds a memo about the voided check and when it was voided.

The Steps

  1. To void a printed check, click Reports on the main menu. Search and click on the Bills & Expenses report.

  2. On the Bills & Expenses report, find the Expense or Bill Payment you need to void and click on it.

  3. Then on the Edit Expense window, click the Void button at the bottom corner. The Payment Method must show as Check for the Void button to appear.

  4. On the Void Confirmation window, click Yes to continue.

  5. If you go back to the Bills & Expenses report, click the expense or bill payment you just voided. It will show the amount as $0, and a memo will be created with the amount, when it was voided, and who voided it.

Voiding the check is now complete. Since the check was changed to $0, the money is now back in the bank account. If you need to send another check, create a new bill/bill payment or expense.

Tip: If the check has already been sent out, you'll need to use the stop payment option your bank provides. Contact your bank in this situation.
