Void or delete a transaction

When you want to remove a transaction, decide if you want to void or delete it.

• Void changes the transaction amount to zero and retains the original transaction date. The transaction is not removed, so you have it for your records. Not all types of transactions can be voided.
• Delete removes the transaction from QuickBooks.
