I'd just void the check, but I think the void process also offers an option to leave the original check alone and create an adjustment in the current period.
Really, unless you're a public company, void a check from a prior month in the current year doesn't really mess anything up.
You don't want to void a check from a closed month. The proper way to handle this is to reverse the entry in October. To do that, create a deposit dated 10-18-23 and assign the same account to the deposit that was assigned to the check. The next time you reconcile, clear the check against the deposit and you should be all set.
