Reissuing a lost or Stolen Check from closed period

1. First, place a stop payment on the original check at the bank
2. Locate the original Bill Payment in QB, make a note in the memo that the original check was lost/stolen and will be re-issued under a different Bill Payment. You can note the new Bill Paytment check number (From step 5 below)
3. Create a journal entry in the current period, debiting the same bank account and crediting the expense account of the original bill.
4. Reissue a new Bill Payment check in the current period. Record to the same expense account as the original Bill & JE from above. Add the new check number to the memo from the original Bill Payment check in Step #2
5. Perform the reconciliation in the new period
1. Reconcile the original Bill Payment from the closed period with the JE that was created in Step 3.  
2. The newly issued current period check (from Step 4) will remain outstanding until cashed.
