How to 'Cancel' a cheque?

Changing a cheque from 'in circulation' to 'cancelled' is used to specify that a cheque has been destroyed and will never be cashed. 

To 'cancel' a cheque, follow these steps.

Click the 'Accounting' menu bar selection.  Then select 'Payable - CHEQUES'.

The next slide shows the 'Cheque List' window.

Click the radio button labelled, 'Cancel.'  A list of dates will appear. Select the year and month when the cheque was cancelled.  In the slide below, 'April 2001-04-30' is selected.

Finally, click the cheque information row.  After the row is clicked, the information in the column labelled, 'Status' changes to read 'Cancelled.'
