There are 3 ways to void a check in Odoo:
1. Void and reissue a check using the same payment.
-First you need to cross out/ shred the printed check
-log a note on the payment that check no 1 is voided
-Click on "Unmark sent", print a new check and enter the check number
-Entered number is the new check that can be sent to the vendor.

This method does not leave a cancelled or reversed journal entry to log the voiding of the check.
2. Void a check within the current period by cancelling the original payment and creating a new one, with or without reissue.
Cancel the original payment
Duplicate the original payment
Post and add the new payment to your next check run
This method leaves a cancelled payment receipt and a gap in your bank journal sequence to track the voiding of the check. Because it modifies an existing journal entry it may only be used within a current open period and requires the cancelling journal entries module.
3. Voiding a check issued in a previous period, with or without reissue.
Issue a payment from the same vendor for the same amount, type "Manual"
Reconcile it with the original payment
Duplicate the original payment and add it to your next check run
This method allows cancellation of a check (or any payment) posted to a previous period without reissue. It leaves no sequence gap and tracks the cancelled payment with a reversal. You may post the reversal to any period necessary.
For #3, I have questions on how to do it.
1. "Issue a payment from the same vendor"- do you mean go to Accounting->Vendors->Payments and create a payment type of Receive Money that can have a current month posting date?
2. "Reconcile it with the original payment"- do you mean I should go to Accounting->Accounting->Reconcile and select the vendor and the two entries and reconcile?
