Printer Mangled Checks

My printer mangled a couple of checks. I had to use other checks to complete the transaction. The record was issued to the new checks. What is the proper way to account for the checks, not recorded, that were mangled?

You can find the answer in the Wiki: Void the physical check.

I actually couldn't find an answer in wiki. I have voided checks before. The situation here is that the checks was never recorded. There is no record of them in MLS

The link tells you what to do with the physical check:

1. Tear out and destroy the signature lines on the check.
2. Write "VOID" on the check and any copies of the check.
3. File the voided check in numeric order with the other expense documents.

Is there anything that needs to be entered in to MLS to account for such a check? There is no record of the check in MLS.

NO.
