Voidiing a cheque (check.)

[Doug Laidlaw]

I have had to cancel two cheques recently.   With Quicken, there is a button 
to "void" it. That is probably not correct double-entry procedure, but I am 
running a personal account, not a business one.  The first one I tore up 
before I sent it, so I just omitted it from the books.  The second one came 
back, and I "doctored" the entry to look like a Quicken "void."

What is the correct procedure?  A journal entry reversing the cheque, perhaps?

Doug.
