I put a stop payment on a check that was lost. I reissued the check from a different account. What is the entry to record the stop payment and remove from o/s check list?

Hi,

Keeping track of your cheques is crucial for managing your business finances. With QuickBooks Online, you can record and edit cheques in a few easy steps. If you wish to void or delete the entry corresponding to a cheque that was lost, follow these steps:

1. Select Expenses from the left menu
2. Select the Expenses tab
3. Locate the cheque you wish to delete/void
4. From the ACTION column, select the triangle to open up the drop down menu
5. Select Void or Delete as needed
6. Select the Yes button

Before deleting or voiding a QuickBooks Online transaction, keep in mind that:

• Voiding doesn't remove the transaction. When you void a transaction, you still have a record of it with the same date but zero amount. You can always go back to and restore a voided transaction. Voiding is particularly helpful if you need the transaction details for reference, and is an accounting best practice.
• Deleting removes the transaction completely. There is no way to recover or restore deleted transactions. The only record of the change is in the Audit Log. Deleting transactions can change amounts for prior periods. If you delete transactions that were previously reconciled, the next reconciliation beginning balance will change. If the deleted transactions are linked to other transactions, it can cause accounting issues.
