Recently printed check has vanished

Recently printed check has vanished from both MLS and LCRF. On 20 Oct 2019, my assistant clerk printed check 4071. I have the check stub, but I can't find the check. The member has not received the check. Check 4071 does not appear in MLS or in LCRF. The expense appears in LCRF on the Print Checks tab. When I click the Print Checks button, LCRF suggests that check 4071 should be used to print the expense. Very weird. If I can find the printed check, I will void it and start over.

So here is my theory. I think my assistant:

• "Printed" the check to PDF in LCRF.
• Printed the PDF on the check stock.
• Did not click "Yes" to confirm that the check was printed successfully. I think he was distracted, and simply closed the browser.
• Signed and mailed the check to the member.

So the check was actually printed, but not recorded in LCRF, because the printing was never confirmed. I asked the member to return the check to me on Sunday, because it will not be honored if its existence cannot be confirmed.

I had the happen once. I entered the expense again and "printed" the check (but I didn't actually print the PDF) and then I clicked "Yes" to confirm it printed correctly. Of course, that only works if you haven't printed another check with a later number.

This check was a fast offering check that had already been sent to a utility and I didn't want it to bounce.
