Business process-FCH8 and FCH9 are often confused with each other
FCH8( this guide) is about voiding the check AND canceling the payment.
This is used, e.g. if, you paid the wrong vendor. In this case, we would need to void the check as well as reverse the payment.
FCH9 is used when we just need to void the check. E.g., if we wrote a check, but lost the check and we need to reissue a check, but the payment info is correct.
