Cancelled check then reissued payment by venmo

Hi all, 

I'm new to QB so help is appreciated. I had my bank issue a check to a vendor. In QB, I created an expense and then matched it to the bank deduction. Then the vendor misplaced the check so I had the bank cancel it (no fees charged). I reissued the payment to vendor by Venmo. How do I now deal with the return of the check funds and the new expense of the Venmo payment while keeping this clean in QB and not as 2 separate actions? 

Thanks for your suggestions!

Cancelled check then reissued payment by venmo

To handle the return of the check funds, @mldryan, you’ll need to create a bank deposit separately with the date the transaction was cancelled and then issue the second payment. These two actions guarantee that the correct payment method used in the actual transactions is accurately reflected.

 

To get started, let's ensure that the deposit is assigned to the same expense, asset, or liability account used for the original transaction. This helps keep your financial records accurate and organized. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the + New button and select Bank deposit.
  2. Go to the drop-down list for Account and choose the account that you want to put the money into.

  3. Add the transaction date.
  4. Under Add funds to this deposit, enter the appropriate account and amount.
  5. Press Save and new or Save and close.

To record the second payment, enter a check or expense again and pick Venmo as the payment method.

 

Once everything looks good, you can start categorizing your banking entries and reconciling these accounts to ensure the accuracy of your books.
