Once a bill has been paid and/or finalized, it is possible to unfinalize and edit the payment method. Users may void a payment (to enter another payment type on the receipt) or void a receipt entirely (to cancel the receipt and payment amount due).
For merchants using integrated payments, note that users must void a payment before proceeding to void a finalized receipt. For merchants using integrated payments, voiding a finalized receipt must also be completed before a batch is closed.
Users must have permissions to edit and void a finalized receipt in order to perform the following actions. See Assigning user roles for more information.
Voiding a payment
Please note that a receipt cannot be Finalized when voiding the payment method. If the receipt has been finalized, a user must un-finalize the bill before proceeding to void the payment. Please note: you can only unfinalize a receipt up to a week after it was finalized.

Voiding a finalized receipt
If a receipt has been finalized with tax applied, and a VAT (BTW) ticket has been generated and printed, you can refund and effectively cancel a bill using the Void Receipt payment type method. For information on creating this type of payment method in Restaurant Manager, see Adding a payment type.
NOTE: This is the only method to refund or adjust a finalized order for Belgian FDM users.
- Open the receipt that you want to refund. See Opening a Finalized Receipt.
- On the Order screen in Restaurant POS, tap the More button.
- Tap or swipe left on the receipt's payment amount in the detailed Payments screen. A void payment button will appear.
- If the receipt had been finalized, a warning message will appear at the top of the screen asking the user to unfinalize the receipt. Tap Unfinalize.
- Tap Void payment on the detailed Payments screen and again on the confirmation pop-up window.
- Tap the Void receipt payment-type button.
- If the bill was split, all split amounts will be voided. This will automatically print out a refund ticket with the previous amount in negative, canceling the previous VAT (BTW) ticket.
