I am trying to reverse 3 old cheques that show on our Check Reconciliation. Their status shows Outstanding. When I tried to reverse these cheques the message reads "Cheque # not on file and cannot be reversed".
It is year end and I want to reverse these cheques seeing as the bank account has recently been closed out.
Is there any way to reverse these three old cheques?

Hi Dianne

You can't reverse these checks when you get that message.

Instead, void them, and then make a journal entry in the GL debiting cash and crediting the expense accounts that were originally debited.

This is not ideal, because the vendor's account looks like the check was issued and cleared, but it's the best you can do.
