Reversing a voided check

I sent out check #1 to Acme Co. Two weeks later they said they didn't receive it. Lack of communication and my boss did not put a stop payment on it at the bank, but I did void it in QB Desktop. I sent a replacement check (#2) to Acme Co. One month later, I received the bank statement and Acme Co. has cashed check #1. They have not received check #2, so we put a stop payment on it. But now, how do I resolve this in QB to show the correct check # that was cashed? I already voided check #1. Should I try to delete check #1, void check #2, and then enter check #1 again? Will QB allow me to do this? Or is there a better way to do this?

We made a stop payment on a check after calling the bank to confirm that the check had not cleared. I voided the check in our register at that point however, once we received our recent bank statement it showed the check had cleared 4 days prior to my phone call to the bank placing the stop payment on the check. Can I delete the voided check and rewrite the same check in my register? What is the best way to fix this for a clean audit in the future?

Hi, I accidentally went into a voided check and added payroll hours which changed the YTD earnings. Since this check was already voided, it now won't let me zero it out. Effectively my YTD wages are incorrect. How can I fix this since QB (desktop) won't let you create a zero check? TIA!

I know a way how you can fix the paycheck, Bigdog23.

Before we move forward, could you please confirm if you have opened the paycheck details to zero out the hours? If so, QBDT will not allow the creation of a zero check if the hours have been zeroed out, resulting in an error message.

In this case, to rectify your year-to-date (YTD) wages. You have the option to void the paycheck again.

Furthermore, if you want to run payroll reports in the future, refer to this article: Run payroll reports.

Feel free to revisit this forum if you have additional questions or concerns about voided checks. We're always here to lend a hand again.
