?Missing cheque

I went to pay a supplier bill in QB 2005. 150 owed, 150 paid by
cheque. I then went to reconcile the account and the cheque was not
there. I looked at the supplier's account and the 150 payment is not
listed. However the bill is listed as being paid.

Now I can't reconcile the account and I've got a missing cheque.

Any ideas?

If the bill is marked paid you can hit the history button to show you all the
transactions related to that bill. It will show you the PO (if there is one)
and the payment. Select the payment and hit goto. Then start checking to see
if it is out of the right bank account, is the date in the right year, all the
things that make stuff disappear from the standard reports.

Oh, if it says paid but doesn't list the payment, restore from your backup and
enter all your transactions forward. Before that make sure you didn't edit the
bill to a zero balance!

Of course you could also look at the audit trail report and find the
transaction. You should do this as a learning experience so you can find the
really weird ones if you need to.
