Renumbering Checks
Use the Bank Accounts/Renumber Checks window to renumber individual posted checks — including voided checks — to give a check a different check number from the number currently associated with it. The new number must be a number that has not already been used by a check on the selected bank account.
The old check number becomes available for use once you post the renumbered check. Write the old number down if you want to reuse it. The old number does not become the default next check number during data entry; you must specify it for the printed or manual check.
In the Renumber Checks window, you indicate the check's bank account, enter the old and new check numbers, and enter the reason for the change.
