# How to edit and delete a voided checkbook transaction

If you void a checkbook transaction, the system will grey out the original transaction and create a reversing checkbook entry on the date the void occurred. Based on the date of the reversing entry, this can cause a discrepancy in reporting if the two entries don't fall within the same reporting period.

**Voided bank transactions can not be edited or deleted from the Banking tab.** However, the best way to fix the mistake is to edit both dates for the original and reversing entry.

To edit the date of a voided checkbook transactions:

- Navigate to **Settings \> Administrative \> Checkbook Transactions**
- Set your Start Date to the date the first transaction occurred and your End Date to the date of your last bank transaction
- Locate the original and reversing entry and edit the dates to fall on the same date
- To edit the transaction date, click the pencil icon on the right side of the line, adjust your date and click "Update".

**Note:** Be sure both the original and reversing entry is set to the same date. This will cause an offsetting entry with a 0 balance on both the cash account and the distribution account. The date does not matter as long as they are both the same.

**Note:** Voided AR Deposits can NOT be edited. If a voided AR Deposit is throwing off your financial statements, a reversing entry will be required.
