Delete the payment transaction:
- Go to the appropriate checking account
- Select the payment
- Click Delete
The more interesting question however would be "How did these transactions get
paid in the first place ?"
If it was because you wrote checks for them, aren't these bills paid for real
then ?
Or did you pay them and now want to write a check for it ?
If that's the case you have two options:
1. as I explained above, delete the payment transaction and start over
2. Select the payment transaction in your checking account and then choose
File->Print Check
IIRC the check printing code should detect the payment is linked to a vendor
and as a result it should automatically fill in all of the vendor details.
