Voiding a check from a prior period that will not be reissued

A few months ago I created a Bill and a bill pmt-check. The Vendor no longer needed the check so it was given back. This happened about 2 months ago and I still need to Void the check in QB. I do not want to affect the previous periods as the books have already closed and locked with a passcode. I tried just using the Void feature in the "bill payment(check)" screen but it would make the bill available to pay again which is not what I need. How do I void the check when the period is closed and the check does not need to be reissued?

 

Update-

I made a journal entry but I want to make sure this is correct:

 Account                  Debit     Credit     Memo                    Name

Checking account   $99                      To void check#...   Vendors name

Expense account                   $99       To void check#...   Vendors name

You got it.  That journal entry works.  It deposits the cash to offset the check and reverses the bill.
