This article will outline how to undo the voiding of A/P checks and trust checks.
Index
Unvoid an A/P Check
- Begin re-entering the check as it was originally entered (either via A/P > Demand Check Writer, or the two step-process of entering a payable via A/P > Enter and Post Payables, then printing the check via A/P > Print A/P Checks).
- Be sure to re-enter the Matter ID and Exp. Code (or the details on the Client Section if entering via Enter and Post Payables) if you charged the check to a matter. Those cost entries on the matter are voided along with the check.
- After you are ready to print the check, click Print.
- If a physical check was used to make this payment originally, in Next Check Number, enter the check number that the original check used, but append .1 to it (e.g. check #1017 would become 1017.1).
- Set G/L Posting Date to the date that the check was voided, if it differs from the date of the check. This ensures that the money will be logged as withdrawn from your operating account on the correct date, and prevent issues with reconciling your account as a result.
- Check Do Not Print (or select Post Only, Do Not Print under Print Options, if it is being printed from Post A/P Checks), so that Abacus Accounting will not print the check again.

Unvoid a Trust Check
If the trust check that you need to unvoid was generated automatically after posting bills, the check will need to be re-created manually. You can enter individual trust check requests within Trust > Trust Check Requests for each matter's trust transfer included on the original check, then print the check within Trust > Print Trust Checks. Alternatively, the bills can be unposted, then re-generated and posted so that the check can be re-created automatically.
- Begin re-entering the check as it was originally entered (either via Trust > Trust Demand Check Writer, or the two-step process of entering Trust Check Requests via Trust > Trust Check Requests, then printing the check via Trust > Print Trust Checks).
- After you are ready to print the check, click Print.
- Set the Check/Post Date to the date that the check was voided, if it differs from the date of the check. This ensures that the money will be logged as withdrawn from your trust account on the correct date, and prevent issues with reconciling your account as a result.
- If a physical check was used to make this payment originally, in Next Check Number, enter the check number that the original check used, but append .1 to it (e.g. check #1017 would become 1017.1).
- Check Post Only, Do Not Print a Check (or select Post Only, Do not print checks under Print Options, if it is being printed from Post Trust Checks), so that Abacus Accounting will not print the check again.
