Question

Hello,

We wrote out a check to a vendor, the vendor returned it because they no longer needed payment.  How do I "delete" it from QB without throwing everything off during reconciliation? I am using QBD for Non Profit.

Hello, NonProfitMommaOf3. If the check hasn't been reconciled, simply go to the Bank Register, open the check, and select Delete. Since your vendor hasn't cashed it yet, removing the transaction won't create any discrepancies.

However, if the check is already reconciled, deleting it will affect your opening balance. To fix this, you can perform a mini reconciliation. This process is typically used when your QuickBooks balance doesn't match your statement after a transaction has been voided, deleted, or corrected.

Feel free to reply if you have further questions or additional concerns. I'm always here to help!

Since the check didn't clear, it is not connected to any reconciliation.

 

You can just open it and delete it.
