This payment is to a contractor. I want to recall it, void it, cancel it.

Hi toneycrew, I am here to assist you in canceling or voiding the payments you have made to your contractor.

 

Please note that once a direct deposit payment has been processed, it is no longer possible to void, cancel, or delete the transaction. However, you can create a Journal Entry to offset the transaction amount for a contractor's direct deposit.

 

Here's how to void or cancel a direct deposit payment:

  1. Go to Expenses and click Contractors.
  2. Select the Contractors.
  3. Click the Payments.
  4. Select the Payment you want to void.
  5. Click Void.
  6. Select Yes to confirm changes.

 

For more information on voiding or cancelling contractor payment, please check this article: Void or cancel contractor payments.

 

I've also included an article that outlines how to reverse a direct deposit in QuickBooks Online if you accidentally paid a contractor or the wrong contractor: Reverse a direct deposit.
