Should I Void the Check and then redo using Pay Bill and Print Check so that Vendor Bills are linked to check payment?

Yes, we can void the check and reissue it using the Pay bills feature, @ella17. This process ensures that vendor bills are properly linked to their corresponding payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Expenses tab.
  2. Locate the check transaction you want to void.
  3. Click the View/Edit dropdown in the ACTION column.
  4. Hit Void.

After that, proceed to to link it using the Pay bills feature.

 

  1. Go to the + New.
  2. Select Pay bills

  3. Choose the correct Payment account and set the Payment date.
  4. Select the bill you created.
  5. Once done, click Save and close.

 

Speaking of, since the check has already cleared, please ensure to manually clear it in the Bank register to maintain accurate records. Here’s how to do that:

 

  1. Go to Transactions, then Chart of accounts.
  2. Locate the account, then View register.
  3. Find the check transaction.
  4. Head to the check column and tick until you see the C.

  5. Hit Save to update your records.

 

Also, regularly review and reconcile your accounts to match your financial statements.
