Void cheque with paid disbursements

Q:  What do I do if a cheque is lost and needs to be reissued but it’s already attached to a client disbursement where an invoice has been issued on the file? 

A:  Void the cheque and reissue.  The firm made the payment and somehow the payment got lost.  The client paid for the disbursement on the invoice but that is OK.  The firm needs to Void the cheque and contact the bank.  Then reissue a new cheque for the disbursement.  This way if the cheque does show up there is a record of it and the bank knows it has been voided and reissued.
