Making Payments and Writing Checks

Use either of the following options to write checks for invoices you have previously selected for payment.

To write checks for invoices you have selected for FULL payment,

Select:

Write Checks -> FULL Payment of Invoices -> WRITE checks for Invoice PAYMENT IN FULL

To write checks for invoices you have selected for PARTIAL payment,

Select:

Write Checks -> PARTIAL Payment of Invoices -> WRITE checks for Invoice PARTIAL PAYMENT

Figure: Start Check Printing Window

A new screen will appear to guide you through the check printing process. (If you have more than one bank account the menu to select a general ledger bank account will appear first. Click to select the bank account from which the checks will be paid.) The next window will ask you to enter the starting check number. Enter the first number on the preprinted check forms you will be using. After printing the first check the next check number will be incremented automatically. Be sure you remember to load the preprinted check forms into your printer and that they are in numerical order.

Today's date will be automatically loaded into the date box. You may override this date if you wish. This is the date that will print on the checks.

You may also access the Printer Alignment function directly from this window if you need to. (See the next section.)

Follow the detailed steps in the window for printing checks.

NOTE: The option for printing ALL CHECKS AT ONCE, nonstop, is not yet implemented. You should use the single check printing method instead.

For Partial Payment checks you must enter the amount of the payment you wish to make.

When you have completed the entries, if the Printer Alignment is properly set, and the check forms are in the printer, click the Print button.
