Hi Kimberly. You would create a positive AP Invoice for the amount of the check, using the cash account you will be depositing the check to in the grid as the Account. Then in 4-3-1, you would select the credit invoice and the positive invoice to pay - they should cancel each other out so the total Set To Pay at the bottom is 0. Then in 4-3-2, select the vendor which should have a $0.00 set to pay amount, select to pay by check, and click Pay Vendors. In the check printing window, check the box for "Print $0 checks", then print and post. This process will both apply the check to the credit invoice and post the check to your cash account (so need to post the check in 1-2 or 1-3).

Thank you very much!  That achieved exactly what was after

Merry Christmas!

If you want more of an audit trail, you would create the invoice as he said below except you would post it to a Suspense account (in the Current Assets).  Then you would receive the check in Deposits/Checks & post that to the Suspense account as well.
