Good day, @devonne-kahunain.
When you void transactions from a previous period, the system will void the check on the period it was written rather than the period it was voided. Thus, causing a difference in your current period.
In your case, you'll want to enter a journal entry dated the same date as the original check.
Here's how:
- Click + New, then select Journal entry.
- On the first line, select the other account you're moving money to or from in the Account field. Depending on if you need to debit or credit the account on the first line, enter the same amount in the opposite column.
- Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance.
- Enter information in the memo section so you know why you made the journal entry.
- Select Save and new or Save and close.
Then, enter another journal entry dated in the current period, reversing the entry above.
When it's time to prepare for the next bank reconciliation, you'll need to clear the two journal entries you made above.
To avoid this kind of situation in the future, we encourage you to consult your accountant before you invalidate your check.
I'll get back to you as soon as I can should you have any additional concerns. Take care!
