Turn "checks to print" into transfers?

I have six reminders for "Checks to Print". They were all paid via bank transfers. The oldest one is from 2013. Is there a way to update the registers to show that they were transfers? Or how else to clear them from the reminders?

Thank you for taking the time to post today, dollarsanddonuts.

 

You can remove the checks from the print queue if you assign a check number in each of them. You can put something like EFT to indicate that they are electronic fund transfers. 

 

If the checks are transfers in real life, you may want to delete them and replace them with transfer transactions. However, transfers will post in both source and recipient accounts, which means you'll have to mark them as reconciled if they've been reconciled before.

 

Let me know if you have more questions in mind. Take care and have a good one!

Hi @shelley_08. If you’re referring to the answer my colleague provided above, I’d be happy to explain it further.
 

If you’re trying to remove checks from the print queue in QuickBooks, the simplest solution is to assign a check number to each of them. Instead of using an actual check number, you can input "EFT" to indicate that the payments were made as Electronic Fund Transfers. Once you’ve assigned a check number and saved the changes, those checks will no longer appear in the print queue but will remain in your transaction history for recordkeeping purposes.
 

If the checks represent bank transfers in real life where money was electronically moved between two of your accounts (like from Checking to Savings), you can delete the checks and replace them with Transfer transactions.
 

When you record a Transfer in QuickBooks, it updates both the account the money is coming from and the account it is being deposited into. However, keep in mind that if the checks have already been reconciled in your books, replacing them with transfers may require additional steps. You’ll need to locate the new transfer transactions in the Bank register and manually mark them as Reconciled (R) to maintain the accuracy of your prior reconciliations.
