Welcome to QuickBooks, wdennis.
May I know how did you enter the Journal Entry for this check?
Normally, there's no need for you to create a journal entry since this check was never cashed. Instead, you can enter it as a deposit using the same expense account as the check.
Here's how:
- Click + New.
- Select Bank Deposit.
- From the Account drop-down▼menu, choose the same expense account you want to deposit the money into.
- Click Save and close.
After that, clear both once you reconcile. Please read this article for more information: Undo And Remove Transactions From Reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.
You also have the option not to include this in your reconciliation to avoid any issues.
Once done, you can run reports in QuickBooks Online to track the information you need: Run Reports In QuickBooks Online.
Keep me posted on how everything goes. I'll be glad to help.
