If it was a "Cash Invoice" type of check, where the record of the invoice is entered at the same time, and the distribution of the invoice was done to the Accounts Payables account rather than to an expense account, the result would be that Payables would show the invoice & check, but the Ledger entry would be zero.
What does the check register show? What was the distribution?
