Retrieving a Voided Transaction in QuickBooks

Transactions that are voided in QuickBooks stay on the books in case you need to locate a voided transaction for auditing purposes. You can't unvoid a transaction once it has been voided. If you need to add a voided transaction back to the register, you must first locate the original voided transaction, select it and then re-enter the transaction into the register. This keeps the voided transaction on record, along with the original and newly created transaction. Before you can re-enter a transaction, you must first locate it within your transaction history.
