The Check Voids and Reallocations screen allows users to review check history and void checks, as needed, as well as reallocate funds, review reallocations results, and reverse reallocations.
1. In the Payroll menu, click Check Voids and Reallocations.
![Check Voids and Reallocations](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/007/831/895/original/bbd168df-0255-45e0-862d-51df58af75ee.png)
2. To review an employee's check history, click the Check History tab.
3. Select the check contract year from the Select Contract Year pull-down.
4. Select the employee whose check history is to be pulled from the Select Employee pull-down.
The employee's check history displays the check Run, check Type, Check #, the date the check was Issued, Cleared, Reconciled, the Amount of the check, the amount Adjusted, the Journal Date Voided, and the date Reissued.
5. Click void to void the check and remove the invoices as well as payroll history. Once clicked, the Journal Date Voided field populates with the date the check was voided.
The Void process automatically voids history in Human Resources > Employee > Pay History and Employee Self Service. The void process marks the history records as voided, reverses the journals, and deals with vendor invoices if the invoices aren't marked as invoiced.
To void the check on a different date, enter the Journal Date Voided date before clicking void, as shown in the image below.
The Void column will still display the date the check was actually voided; i.e. the date you clicked the void button.
When a check is voided using the void button, the benefits associated with that check are also voided.
The columns displayed are included in the report; however, if you find specific columns unnecessary, you can remove columns by clicking Toggle Columns. To hide a column from the report, clear the selected check box. To include the column, select the check box.
If a column has been hidden from the report, upon navigating away from the screen, the column will remain hidden until the check box is selected via Toggle Columns.
1. In the Payroll menu, select Check Voids and Reallocations.

You have the option to add as many lines as needed meaning you can reallocate the selected funds in between as many element filters as needed as long as it equals 100%. Note: The Percent will remain red for all added actions until they equal 100%.

The Original section displays the original allocations for all applicable employees.
The Original section only displays the allocations for wages because the deductions and contribution allocations are based on the wages displayed.
The Current allocations section displays how employees are allocated after any reallocations. This section displays the deductions and contribution allocations in addition to the employees' wages.
The Reallocations section displays all reallocations. Normally, you see a negative for reversing out the old allocation and a positive amount for the new allocation.
This is not a ledger view. In the ledger, the amounts will always be positive with the debit and credit accounts reflecting the changes. By using positive and negative amounts, it’s easier to sort the results so that you can more easily see the changes.
5. Any attached Files and posted Comments that were a part of the original reallocation, display in the Files & Comments section.
Click the Files attachment to download and view the file.
