What action marks a check number unavailable for re-use?

Marking a check number as unavailable for reuse occurs when a check is voided. When a check is voided, it is effectively canceled, meaning that it cannot be processed for payment. This action ensures that the specific check number is marked in the system as unusable going forward, therefore preventing accidental reissue or payment against it.

In contrast, reissuing a check typically involves creating a new check for an amount that was previously issued but lost or not cashed. This action may allow for the same check number to be reused in some systems, depending on the accounting practices followed.

When a check is marked as lost, it serves to notify the organization that the check is not in the possession of the intended recipient; however, it does not inherently mark the check number as unavailable for future use in the same way that voiding does.

Deleting a check would remove it entirely from the records, meaning any reference to that check number could potentially be reinstated in the future when appropriate actions are taken.

Thus, voiding a check provides a clear and definitive action that marks the check number as unavailable for reuse in the context of financial accounting practices in Sage Intacct.
