voiding a check

[FBCVandalia]

Using version 11.5 of software.

During the set up of the accounting module - I listed the outstanding checks as I set up the checking account balance. Now 3 months later one of the checks has never cleared the bank. I checked with the vendor & the check is lost. This check was issued in January 2012 and was never processed through the system.

How do I get the check off the outstanding check list of the bank reconcilation? The vendor doesn't want another check issued.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I can't picture whether or not you can simply void the check, but I am assuming you cannot because it was entered as an outstanding check at the time of your install.

Here's what I would do. Reconcile the check and this correction entry together:
DB 01-1110-000 checking
CR 01-4190-000 misc income (description: check #9845 lost, amount re-deposited)
