A cheque that is over a year old has not been cashed and the vendor is not reachable. How do I void a cheque from the prior period.

QuickBooks Desktop

Don't Void it; offset it with a Deposit entry dated current, for whatever you need that will be the reversal of that entry.

The Desktop programs have the Void function, the Delete function, and even a Bounced function. Of Course you can Void, but "as of a certain date" = Offset, not Void. The original Transaction either exists or it doesn't = Void/Delete.

"this doesn't work for a check in a prior, closed, audited period"

This, What part, doesn't work?

You make your own offsetting entry and you control Everything about it. Example: For the prior fiscal year, you might need to post to Equity for Prior Year Adjustment.
