Correcting a Check Written from the Wrong Bank Account

Correcting a Check Written from the Wrong Bank Account

If a check was written in MaxxTraxx using the wrong checking account—but it printed on the correct physical check stock—you can correct it by voiding the original transaction and re-entering the check under the correct account.

Step 1: Delete the Check from the Incorrect Bank Account

  1. Open Banking
  2. Select Check Register
  3. Choose the bank account that was used incorrectly
  4. Locate the check that needs to be corrected and click Delete 
  5. Select Yes when prompted to confirm the deletion

If you cannot find the check:

  1. Click Find at the bottom of the screen
  2. In the Find Records window, enter the check number in the Check Number field
  3. Click OK
  4. The check should appear in the register
  5. Click Delete
  6. Select Yes when prompted to confirm the deletion

Step 2: Recreate the Check Using the Correct Bank Account

After deleting the original check:

  1. Exit the Check Register
  2. Go to either:
    • Pay Bills (if it was a bill payment), or
    • Write Check (if it was a manually written check)
  3. Select the correct Payee
  4. Verify the correct Bank Account is selected in the top-left corner

Step 3: Enter the Original Check Information

In the check section:

  1. Remove the checkmark from To Be Printed (located in the top-right corner)
  2. Enter the actual check number from the printed check
  3. Update the check date if needed

Step 4: Post the Check

Click: 

  • Post and Close

This will recreate the check under the correct bank account while keeping your check records accurate.
