Let's face it - mistakes happen all the time in business. Whether you sent a payment to the wrong vendor, issued a check in the wrong amount, or have to apply a stop payment - there are plenty of situations where you may need to **Reverse a Check in Sage 100 ERP**.

Here are the steps to reverse a check in [Sage 100](https://www.rklesolutions.com/sage-100-erp/) (formerly "[MAS 90](https://www.rklesolutions.com/sage-100-erp/)") **Accounts Payable**.

If you have a check to reverse **without Job Cost distributions**, follow these steps:

1. Select **Modules, Accounts Payable, Main, Manual Check Entry.**
2. In the **Bank Code **field, enter the bank code associated with the check to reverse.
3. In the **Check No. **field, enter the check number of the check to reverse.
4. Click **Yes** in response to the question, **"Is this a check reversal?"**

1. Click **Yes** in response to the question, **"Recall original invoices?" **to reopen the original invoice.  
   **Note: **If you click **No**, skip to **Option 2**.
2. Click **Accept **on the **Lines** tab where the invoice will be displayed with a negative amount. This will adjust the invoice balances back into Accounts Payable.

1. Print the **Manual Check Register **and then Click **Yes** to **Update Check Register**.

### **Option 2**

If at Step 5 you click **No** to **"Recall Original Invoices" **and leave the original invoice(s) closed, here are the remaining steps:

From the **Lines** tab, select the **GL Distribution Button/Icon**. Enter a GL Account and enter the original amount of the check as a negative value.

Click **Accept**, print the **Manual Check Register**, and **Update Check Register.**

**NOTE 1: **If the check was for G/L distribution only, an invoice will be created and posted to the vendor’s Open Invoice file aka:  **AP_OpenInvoice.M4T **

**NOTE 2: **The process for reversing a check ***With Job Cost Distributions*** is slightly different.
