05 June 2010 From the question i understood that you have given self cheque to your creditor on account of some expenses incurred instead of writing the cheque at his name.

If that is the case, you can make the following entry:

Expense a/c Dr.
To Bank a/c

And write proper narration to clarify the transaction
