There is no issue at all if you have paid a vendor and the vendor liability is alreary cleared. I am not sure what dependencies do you have for this reset. I can think of 2 examples:
1. When you pay your vendor you Dr. your vendor and credit your Bank. Now the question is where the check is (if the payment mode is check). If you have already mailed the check to your vendor then there is a possiblity that your vendor can encash it. There is no connection of SAP reset and bank encashment of your check. If you use this process you also need to send an information to your bank so that they can not honor this check which you have already reset and reversed the check payment.
2. Suppose you have Electronic bank statement in scope then you will never hit your bank account straight when you do your vendor payment. You generally hit bank celaring account. In this case you need to check where the check is. If the check is still in your possession you can reset your transaction along with check voiding. If you have already mailed the check to your vendor then there is a possibility that he might encash this check. In this case SAP reset is of no use unless and until you send a notification to your bank not to honor this check. if you do not notify your bank then there is a possibility that this clearing transaction appear in your bank statement and will always open as system won't be able to clear this positng because of the fact that you have already reset your books.
Hope these scenarios cover your issue.
