What is the first step to void or reverse a check?

The first step to void or reverse a check in a payroll processing system is to identify the check to void or reverse. This crucial step ensures that the correct transaction is targeted for the voiding or reversing process. Identifying the specific check prevents errors, such as accidentally voiding the wrong check, which could lead to further complications in payroll processing.

Once the check has been properly identified, subsequent actions like clicking on the void/reverse function or manually adding a new check can follow. These steps rely heavily on the accurate identification of the check in question. Therefore, recognizing which check needs to be voided or reversed is foundational to the overall process and contributes to maintaining accuracy in payroll records.
