thank you so much for such a quick response. Actually they are cleared now and the transaction is transferred to QB directly from the bank website. When any routine check clears the bank I can easily match them with the check issued in QB (EXPENSE). But for this one the original check doesn't come up. If you see attached picture the black circled check is a current one an the red ones are from previous fiscal year and there is no way to match them. Even when I add them manually the don't sit as a payment to the check and create a new expense!!! Duplicate!
