Allow me to assist you in locating your check manually and updating the date.

 

In line with FishingForAnswers's reply, you'll want to simply open and edit the check to change the date.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Expenses.
  2. Click the All transactions drop-down.


     
  3. Select Check.
  4. Choose a check you need to edit.
  5. Update the date under the Payment date section, then Save and Close it.

@Janet861  I want to say you can just go back to the check in question, presumably via the vendor or employee or whichever center, and edit the date field, but god only knows with QBO.
