How to correct chq written for wrong amount after year end?

Can anyone walk me through the proper journal entries for this?

Just prior to year end I wrote a cheque to a vendor in the wrong amount but posted the correct amount on the invoice.

Yes, I still handwrite cheques, lol.

As it is a small amount, the account said to correct it in the new year and put the balance owing to the clearing account to be paid later.

I have no idea where to start with the journal entries as I can't just delete the payment because of year end.

Can anyone help?

    Hi Sumaka, if you go to the general ledger and find your entry that you posted, double click on it and it should show your original entry.  You may have to drill down like that a couple of times until you see your entry.  Then do a journal entry to reverse the amount you need.
