Checks

Good day, @A Chartier.

I'd be glad to share info on how to handle damage checks in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

If the checks weren't used in real transactions, you have the choice to either delete or void them. When you void a transaction in QuickBooks, you retain a record of the transaction, but it doesn't impact your account balances or reports. When you delete it, the transaction is completely removed from your books and won't appear on any reports or in any accounts. You can retrieve some details of the transaction using the audit log in QuickBooks, but you can't recover the entire transaction.

Here's how to delete or void a check: 

1. Go to the Expenses menu and select Expenses.
2. Look for the checks you want to delete, then click the Action drop-down list.
3. Select Delete or Void.
4. Choose Delete or Void to confirm.

If you're still not sure whether to void or delete a transaction, reach out to your accountant. If you don't have one, we can help you search for a ProAdvisor at this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant/

Let me also share this resource about setting up your print settings so you can print checks in QBO: Configure your print settings for printing checks in QuickBooks.

If you have further questions about documenting missing checks, just add them to the thread and I'll be here to assist you. Have a great day.

Yes, you want to void them.  Voiding them keeps a record of the check for $0.00 so you can make a note as to why the check was voided.  It's important to make sure you have a record of all check numbers.  Deleting the check removes it from QB completely so there's no way to know if the checks were lost, stolen, skipped or ???
