Re-issue a confirmed check with the same check number (blank check stock only)
You might have printed and confirmed a check that has incorrect information, for example, a transaction with incorrect invoice dates. You can correct the error and reprint the check using the same check number.
Have only one person print checks from the selected checking account at a time to avoid mistakenly issuing the same check number to a different transaction.
