Void Or Cancel A Check

To void or cancel a check in Oracle HCM, you need to perform the action through the Payroll module or Payments section, depending on how your organization has configured it. Here’s a general guide on how to void or cancel a check in Oracle HCM:

Steps to Void or Cancel a Check in Oracle HCM:

  1. Log in to Oracle HCM:

    • Use your credentials to access Oracle HCM.

  2. Navigate to Payroll or Payments:

    • From the homepage, select the Navigator (the menu icon), and go to the Payroll work area.
    • If your organization uses a different setup, it could also be under Payments.

  3. Go to Check Payment Actions:

    • In the Payroll module, look for options related to Payment Distribution or Payroll Payments.
    • You should find a list of payroll actions where you can manage and view payments, including checks.

  4. Find the Check:

    • Use the search or filter option to locate the specific check that you need to void or cancel.
    • You can search using parameters like:
      • Employee Name
      • Check Number
      • Payment Date
      • Payroll Period

  5. Select Void/Cancel Payment Option:

    • Once you have identified the check, there should be an option to Void or Cancel the payment.
    • Click on the Void Payment or Cancel Check option (depending on your organization’s setup).

  6. Enter Reason for Voiding:

    • The system will prompt you to provide a reason for voiding or canceling the check. Common reasons include:
      • Payment issued incorrectly
      • Stop payment request
      • Reissued check

  7. Review and Confirm:

    • Review the details of the check and ensure that you’re voiding the correct one.
    • Click Confirm to proceed with the voiding or cancellation.

  8. Submit the Void/Cancel Action:

    • After confirming, submit the request to void or cancel the check.
    • Depending on your organization’s policies, this action may trigger approval workflows or require HR or payroll administrator intervention.

  9. Check Confirmation:

    • Once the action is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation that the check has been voided or canceled successfully.
    • This should also reflect in the payroll system, ensuring that the payment is marked void and the amount is no longer allocated to the employee or vendor.

Special Considerations:

  • Approval Requirements: Some organizations require an approval process before the void/cancellation is finalized, so check if your void request needs additional approval.
  • Reissue Payment: If necessary, you can follow up by issuing a replacement check or correcting the payroll entry for the employee/vendor.
  • Audit Trail: Voided or canceled checks usually have an audit trail in the system for tracking, so you can reference it if needed in future reports.
