Hold or Cancel Cheques
Use this form to cancel or change the status of a cheque that have already been entered into Greentree Desktop — for example, a payment is under dispute, or a cheque is lost in transit. You can also cancel direct credits using this function by selecting the reference in the Cheque Number field.
Note: To cancel cheque numbers that have not yet been entered into Greentree, use the Enter Cancelled Cheque Numbers form.

Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.
