Void Transactions for a Student

You can void payments, refunds, or stipends for a student in the student’s ledger card. Voided transactions cannot be edited or deleted or reversed/un-voided.

When voiding a transaction, the transaction date on the VOID transaction cannot be earlier than the date of the original transaction. Therefore, the transaction date on the VOID transaction is the latest date of following dates:

  • Transaction date of the original transaction

  • The campus' minimum transaction date

  • Current (system) date

If Anthology Student is integrated with Anthology Finance & HCM:

  • Checks posted directly to the Student Ledger can be voided from Anthology Finance & HCM.

  • Checks that were issued from Anthology Finance & HCM cannot be voided in Anthology Student. You can only void these checks in Anthology Finance & HCM and the status is updated in Anthology Student by default. However, unposted transactions cannot be voided.

  • Checks that were successfully voided in Anthology Finance & HCM are associated with a second voucher. Anthology Student is updated in real time to reflect the voided status.

    • For checks that were voided without a reissue, an indicator is posted to Anthology Student

    • For checks that were reissued after a void, an indicator is posted to Anthology Student

      Two new transactions are created in Anthology Student to indicate the void and pending check (Check Num is set to 0). The transaction will be in an unposted state initially. The transaction with the pending check is then updated to include the new check number, and is then displayed as a posted transaction.

  • Voided transactions initiated in Anthology Finance & HCM are displayed the same way as if the void was initiated in Anthology Student.

  • Options to void a refund or stipend check are disabled in Anthology Student to ensure that the finance department retains control of voiding checks

  • Voids initiated in Anthology Finance & HCM are logged in the change history log in Anthology Finance & HCM and Anthology Student.
