Need help with vendor check that was stolen

Thanks for sharing your concern about the stolen check, Robin1927. I'm here to guide you on how you can resolve this in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

It's necessary to record checks issued to your subcontractor. You can create an expense account and reassign the stolen check for tracking purposes.

Here's how:

1. Go to the List menu, then click Chart of Accounts.
2. Select Account, then click New to create.
3. Tick the Expense, then input the Account Name.
4. Hit Continue.

Once finished, you can edit the check issued to the subcontractor and recategorize it to the recently created expense account. Then create a bank deposit to record the credit received in your bank account and assign it to the expense account to zero the amount.

Here's how:

1. Under the Vendor menu, select Vendor Center.
2. Locate and click on the sub-contractor at issue.
3. Find the check and double-click to edit it.
4. In the Expense tab, assign the amount to the recently created expense account.
5. After that, go to Banking and click Make Deposits.
6. Choose the correct bank account where the credited amount is.
7. Under From Account, find the expense account recently created.
8. Enter the amount of the check.
