How to Handle a Cheque That Was Cashed but Canceled in the System

Summary

To correct a cheque that was cashed but incorrectly canceled, you must create a new cheque that mirrors the original cancellation date and uses a modified version of the original cheque number for accurate tracking.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a new cheque in the system.

2. Set the transaction date to match the date the original cheque was canceled.

3. Manually override the new cheque number.

4. For the new cheque number, use the number from the canceled cheque and add a distinguishing character (for example, add a "0" to the end). This ensures the bank reconciliation process is clear and maintains an accurate audit trail.
