It looks like you're referring to a bounced check, Telfordgeoffrey. A check will bounce if a bank account has insufficient funds.
There are different ways to record the bounced/returned check, depending on the scenario. I'll share with you the reference with the detailed steps.
Although, if this is a returned check from a customer, we have a different way to enter it. I'll include the article about recording a bounced check entered using Accounts Receivable.
If there's something else that we can do for you, please don't hesitate to shoot a comment below.
