In BQE CORE, you cannot void transactions such as checks, invoices, or payments, if their transaction date falls within a closed accounting period. When you attempt to do so, CORE displays the error message: 'This date falls in a closed Accounting Period'.
This happens because of the way CORE records void actions. When a check is voided, CORE creates two sets of general journal entries: one using the original transaction date and another reversal entry using the void date entered by the user. If the original date falls in a closed period, CORE is unable to create the normal journal entry, which prevents the void action from completing.
For example, if a check is issued on July 31, 2026 and the July accounting period is closed, you will not be able to void that check later on August 13, 2026. Since the system must create an entry dated July 31 and that period is already closed, CORE displays an error and blocks the transaction.
Note: Voiding is only allowed if both the original transaction date and the void date fall within an open accounting period. If the transaction date lies in a closed period, you must reopen that accounting period before voiding the transaction. This behavior is by design and ensures the integrity of closed accounting data.
