What is the first step to void a journal in Xero?

To void a journal in Xero, the first step is to select the journal from the Posted tab. This is because only journals that have been posted can be voided; drafts and archived journals do not have any financial impact and therefore cannot be voided. Once you access a posted journal, you have the option to void it, which effectively reverses the entries made in the journal, ensuring that your financial records remain accurate. This is a crucial step in maintaining the integrity of your financial data, as voiding a journal prevents the reported information from affecting your accounts.
