i entered a payment to a contractor in error.. How do I delete or void it?

You can go to the payment in question to delete or void it, edgingtonwaterdi. Allow me to guide you through the entire process.

Before we proceed, I'd like to share the differences between voiding and deleting transactions. This is important because they affect your financial records differently:

• Voiding a transaction retains a record in your books but sets the amount to zero.
• Deleting a transaction removes it completely from your records.

Here's a quick guide on how to delete or void the payment:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and select Expenses.
2. Proceed to the Expenses tab and look for the contractor payment.
3. Under the Action column, click the drop-down list beside View/Edit or Print check, depending on what options are available.
4. Choose between Delete or Void.
5. Click Delete or Void to confirm that you want to remove the transaction.

You can check out this article that shares more information about this process: Void or delete transactions in QuickBooks Online.

I've compiled some additional resources that can be helpful when deleting or voiding transactions:

• Use the audit log to re-enter deleted transactions
• Void a transaction in another period
