Voiding or deleting a transaction

To cancel a transaction, you can either void the transaction or delete it. Voiding changes the amount of the transaction to zero, but keeps a record of the transaction in QuickBooks. Deleting removes the transaction altogether from QuickBooks.

To void a transaction:

  1. Display the transaction you want to void, or select it in the register where it is recorded.
  2. Choose Edit > Void.

To delete a transaction:

  1. Display the transaction you want to delete, or select it in the register where it is recorded.
  2. Choose Edit > Delete.
