Process a Void

Payments or returns can be voided when the original transaction was processed in the last 24 hours and has not been deposited to the practice account. Voiding removes the original transaction from the patient's bank the same day. If the transaction is older or has been deposited, return the payment instead. Returns require a few days to process. See Credit Card Return.

Note: ACH Payments cannot be voided within Open Dental. Instead, void them within the PaySimple portal, then manually edit the payment in Open Dental or create a Refund transaction.

To void a PaySimple transaction:

  1. Locate the transaction to void. In the payment note identify the Ref Number and payment amount.
  2. In the patient's Account Module, click Payment.
  3. Enter the amount of the original transaction as a negative (e.g., -66).
    • Alternatively, right-click the original payment, click Refund, and go to Step 5.
  4. Click OK to open the Payment.
    • If using Clinics, select the clinic of the original payment.
    • Allocate Payment Splits to the production (i.e., procedures, adjustments, or unearned income types) of the original payment. See Paysplit Revise.
  5. After verifying the paysplits, Click PaySimple to open the PaySimple window.
