Welcome to the Community, @Janet861.

 

Allow me to assist you in locating your check manually and updating the date.

 

In line with FishingForAnswers's reply, you'll want to simply open and edit the check to change the date.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Expenses.
  2. Click the All transactions drop-down.


     
  3. Select Check.
  4. Choose a check you need to edit.
  5. Update the date under the Payment date section, then Save and Close it.

 

If you want to learn how to set up your print settings, you can refer to this article: Configure your print settings for printing checks in QuickBooks Online.

@Janet861  I want to say you can just go back to the check in question, presumably via the vendor or employee or whichever center, and edit the date field, but god only knows with QBO.
