How to Resolve a Reconcile Bank Account error due to a skipped check

I processed and printed payroll checks. So, all is posted to the G/Ls, the employee's check inquiry shows the check information, check number that printed on the check matches, etc. etc. All is NORMAL.

However, what occurred was someone did a check run or something and for whatever reason, did a skip check number and included that check number used above. So, when you run a report, it shows this check with the status Voided: Skipped. And, now when you run the bank reconciliation, this check number and amount is not there to TICK off to make the check account balance say its in balance. It's off the amount of this check.

Just checking my logic here. Should I enter a bank transaction, using the type Charge and then select Do Not Post to GL for the amount of the check?

Again, my GL post for the check are fine, only the bank recon is off as this check no longer shows on it.

    If your general ledger is ok and the only problem is your checks are off in the Cash Management section and in payroll check register and you know what checks in the cash management to click on to reconcile. You just have to make a note of what happen and leave it like it is. The other option would be to void the payroll check and start over if the payroll checks have not been distributed.
