Use this program to enter handwritten checks into the Accounts Payable system and bypass the check print portion of processing.
A manual check must be written to pay off documents in the open documents file, such as purchase orders, customer refunds, etc. However, a manual check used to pay off a document that is not in the open documents file is entered through the Noninvoice Check Entry. In other words, if an invoice comes in C.O.D. and never existed in the open documents file, you would use the Noninvoice Check Entry to pay off the document.
The manual check number entered cannot be the same number found in the bank transaction file. Manual checks may not be entered for vendors on hold.
Complete check information must be entered. This information includes bank number, check number, vendor number, check date, check amount, each document (invoice) paid by the check and the payment and discount amounts.
Manual check information appears on the next Check Register and all applicable files are updated during the optional Payment Register update.
Creating a manual check does not by itself update the system.
