<Blank>

Choose this option if you do not want to create a check. This is the default option.

Computer Check

Choose this option if you want the program to create and later print a check for the amount on this payment journal line. See below.

Manual Check

Choose this option if you have created a check manually and want the program to create a corresponding check ledger entry for this amount. With this option, you cannot print checks from the program. See below.

Note that you can choose Computer Check or Manual Check only if the Bal. Account Type or Account Type is Bank Account.

Basic steps for using the Print Check feature in the payment journal:

Fill in the payment journal lines either by entering the lines manually or by using the function Suggest Vendor Payments. This function assists you in managing check payments to vendors.

  1. Choose the option Computer Check or Manual Check (see above) in this field.

  2. With the option Computer Check, you must print the check(s) before you can post the line(s). With the option Manual Check, you can post the journal lines at once.

  3. Print the check(s) by choosing the function Payments, Print Check.

  4. After the check(s) have been printed successfully, you can post the payment journal.

If you need to cancel the check(s) after printing them, you can choose the function Payments, Void Check to void one check or Payments, Void All Checks to void all the checks.

After you have printed or posted the journal lines, the program creates check ledger entries in the Check Ledger Entry table. Here you can also cancel the check(s), if necessary.
