Correcting Checks or Electronic Payments In the Current Month
Making Corrections
Go to Reports & Graphs / Checks. Click on the check you wish to correct, then click Edit Check. Make your changes, and click OK to finish.
If your check numbers have gotten mixed up, be aware that Jewel does not allow duplicate check numbers. So think through the order in which to correct your check numbers, so that you avoid that issue.
Remittance Checks
Remittance checks can only be corrected by technical support, even if the month is not yet closed.
Duplicate Checks or Electronic Payments
If your duplicate check uses a check number that you wish to use for a real check, then go to Reports & Graphs / Checks. Click on the check whose number you need to re-use, then click Edit Check. Check the Electronic Payment box, and click OK to save the change. Then continue to Void a Check (below) to void the duplicate.
If your duplicate is an electronic payment or if you do not need to re-use the check number, simply go to Void a Check (below) to void the duplicate.
Void a Check
If a check will never clear the bank (it was destroyed, replaced, should never have been written, etc), go to Accounting / Void a Check. Use the options on the screen to search for and select the check you wish to void. Verify that the memo reads as you wish, then click OK. Jewel will zero out the values on the check. In the Bank Reconciliation, you will then mark off the $0 check, to remove it from the list of checks waiting to be cleared.
