Hi everyone... I have this project, and it is to take a whole month of activity for a company and journalize, posted and total it at the end of the month. Now there is a memorandum (source document) that ask to correct an entry for a store supplies purchased and piad cash that was posted as a debit purchase by mistake. The month that I am working on is December and this posting was made on November. Do I have to issue a check for that amount, and how do I take it out of the purchase journal to posted on the cash paiments journal

Thank you,

Ingrid R.
