  2. Void the payment with the appropriate options selected.
  3. Record the check or payment again with the correct Check Date.
  4. If you changed the Reconciliation Status in Step 1, change it back.
  5. If you changed the General Ledger Allow entry to closed period setting during the void process, change it back.
