Cheque Cancellations (and EFT Cancellations)

The Cheque Cancellations module records cancelled cheques. This program flags a cheque as cancelled in the cheque file, reverses the amount of the cheque from the bank and accounts payable accounts and reduces the paid to date field on the vendor file. The accounting staff are responsible for the analysis of the reason for cancellation and determining the appropriate adjustments required related to the now unpaid invoices.

The program does not adjust expense accounts.

NOTE: Cancel cheque routine reverses the bank and accounts payable clearing and flags invoices as unpaid. The charges to the expense accounts remain in effect.
