Void It Clean

Cancel an unpaid charge-account sale before any money changes hands.

Step-by-step walkthrough ~2 min read Companion to the 1:51 video

It happens. A contractor puts an order on their house account, then calls a few minutes later to cancel before the items ever leave the store. No money has changed hands, but you've still got an open invoice sitting on their balance. Voiding is how you clear it off clean. It's built for exactly this: an unpaid charge sale that shouldn't have gone through.

Start here

Voiding is not deleting

Rundoo keeps your audit trail intact, so a voided sale doesn't vanish. It gets marked canceled, comes off the customer's balance, and moves to your Voided tab where you can still find it later. The one rule to remember: you can only void an unpaid charge-account sale. Cash, card, and check sales are finalized the moment payment lands, so those take a Return instead. More on that below.

Do this

Void a charge sale, step by step
  1. Open your completed sales

    In POS, click Transactions in the left menu, then the Completed tab across the top. That's every finished sale, ready to search.

  2. Find the sale

    Use the search bar to pull it up by customer name, invoice total, or even a product that was on it. Open it and check the payment line. You're looking for Charged to account. If it reads cash, card, or check, it can't be voided, and you'll want a Return.

  3. Click Void

    With the sale open, click Void up in the action row at the top right. If that button is greyed out, hover over it. The tooltip tells you why, usually because the sale was already paid.

  4. Add a reason and decide on the stock

    The Void Completed Sale box opens. If your store requires a reason, type a quick note, like "customer canceled order." The Void Sale button stays greyed out until that's filled in. Then check Return inventory to stock. It's on by default, which is what you want when the goods never left. Click Void Sale.

    The Void Completed Sale dialog with a Reason for void field and the Return inventory to stock checkbox turned on
    The Void Completed Sale dialog: enter a reason, keep Return inventory to stock checked, then click Void Sale.
  5. Confirm where it landed

    The sale drops off your Completed list and the invoice comes off the customer's balance. Click over to the Voided tab and you'll see it logged there for your records. Clean.

The important part

Void, or return?

One line to keep straight

Void is for a charge sale that hasn't been paid yet. Nothing has settled, so Rundoo just reverses the open invoice.

Return is for anything already paid: cash, card, check, or a charge that's since been paid down. Money moved, so you give it back with a Return or Refund rather than a void.
