correcting check number

This is probably a simple thing but can't find instructions in the Power Church manual. I have posted 4 checks with the wrong check number. How can I get the correct check number posted to those 4 payments? I reversed the number on the first check when they were all four printed, so therefore, all 4 were done in sequence, incorrectly, and of course, I didn't notice it until several weeks later :(

I'm assuming that these have already been posted ??

The only way to fix this is to use the Accounts Payable VOID function, and void the four incorrect numbers. Then using the MANUAL CHECK function enter the four checks using the CORRECT check number, date and accounts as shown on the incorrect checks. In the Manual Check's memo box at the bottom, explain exactly why you had to create this manual check. Thus you satisfy any audit trail.

Then post everything to Funds Accounting. This will straighten out the check numbers, and reverse the entries with the incorrect numbers.

Please note, that when you do your checking account reconciliation, you will find the ORIGINAL incorrect number checks in the Checks and other subtractions area at the bottom and the incorrect number checks with VOID at the top under Deposits and other additions these entries effectively cancel each other out.
