Disassociating Check With Bill?

Is there any way to disassociate a check with a Bill once the check has been created as a payment of a Bill?

We created a check, which our friends in the USPS promptly lost. Not to be outdone, the USPS sent us a letter with an image of our check, and the text said we should not worry because they shredded the check. Very nice of them. :/

From what I can tell, now I must do this sequence:

1) Delete the check in Quickbooks.

2) Recreate the check but not as a Bill Payment.

3) Void the check.

4) Create a new check as a Bill Payment.

While I understand this sequence, I doubt that our bookeeper does, and it is a major hassle for me to have to do these sorts of things for her. The time-consuming part is to record and then retype all of the detail on the check (date, check number, words in memo, account number as it was on the bill, etc). It would be very nice to have a feature that lets you simply disconnect the check from the payment, then void the check. It would save the hassle of recreating the original check detail.

Couldnt you just renumber the cheque with the new number.

As Greg says. To elaborate:

  1. Open the check and mark it "To be printed".

  1. Print it with the new number.

  2. If you want to record the shredded check - Open a new check (not a bill payment) and Void it without entering any payee or amount, then enter the number and save it.

Very nice

I don't think you need to do all that. Just void the check, which should return your Bill to the 'Pay Bills' window. Then just run through the normal pay bills routine.

Yes of course. At least, in the version I use (you did not state yours). Simply go to the check, and UNCHECK (de-select) the bill (vendor invoice) that was paid with the check.

Since you wish to retain the information that is on the check I would, however, agree with !-!, and simply mark the 'lost' check as 'to be printed', and recreate a check with the 'lost' check number, that you will then void.
