Why Reserve Checks for Replacement Payments?

You must reserve payment numbers for each bank account reflected by the replacement prior to creating a replacement payment. The process of reserving checks has three functions:

Reserved - Once reserved, payment numbers are not available for normal system payment use. Reserved payments are used for manual payments or payment replacements.

Unreserve - The unreserve function serves to make previously reserved payment numbers available again for application use.

Void - The void function is used to void payment numbers which were accidentally destroyed but not used. After voiding a payment number, the payment number is taken out of circulation and is not available for use with manual or system payments.
