Writing checks in the bank account is only for payments that would not be reflected in the Accounts Payable (non- vendor payments). This might include special contributions, non-billed loan payments, etc.
Write Checks
In the main Bank Services screen, highlight the bank you wish to use, then select the Write button. The system will display a check creation screen. Fill in the remainder of the information on the screen, including the amount(s), check number ( if it is a handwritten check you are posting ), and the G/L numbers.
If the payee is listed in the Vendor file, putting the account number into the specified field will bring up the name, and address information. Otherwise, these will need to be typed in manually. The search button can be used to lookup bank and vendor information. You can also type in detailed information to be printed on the check stub if you wish. When you press the Exit button, the information you will be asked if you wish to Process the check. If you say Yes, the information will be stored and applied. You may preview the check by selecting the View button.
