QuickBooks deletes the transaction, but it will still appear in the Audit Log, so you and your account have a history of the deletion.

Void a Transaction

Sometimes it’s better to void a transaction. Voided transactions still appear in the account register, but with a zero amount, so it doesn’t affect your balances.

  1. Find and open the transaction you want to void.
  2. From the footer, click More.
  3. Select Void.
