Checks menu
Accounts Payable consists of six types of checks: printed, manual, void, and noninvoice and EFT (electronic funds transfer) transactions and wire transfer.
- The Check Print program is used to print checks generated from the Payment Selection List. When you are satisfied with the list and ready to print checks, use the Check Print program. One check prints for each vendor and pays the documents listed on the Payment Selection List.
- The Manual Check Entry program allows you to enter and record manual checks (written manually to pay invoices in the open documents file). Manual checks are usually entered after the check has been written. Specify the vendor, manual check number, date and amount and then select the documents paid by the manual check.
- Deleting manual checksThe Void Check Entry program is used to void (system generated or manual) checks updated by the Check Register. Specify the check number and the number of the invoice that was paid off by the check. Void checks are not updated until the Payment Register is updated, at which point the documents (invoices) go back into the open documents file.
- The Noninvoice Check Entry program is used to pay an invoice not in the open documents file. For example, if you are creating invoices, expensing the invoices and recording payment of the invoices at the same time.
- The EFT Approval (APE340) program is used to approve the electronic payments that have been submitted in the EFT Submission (APR320) program.
- The EFT Submission (APR320) program, is used to submit documents that are to be paid by ACH and invoices that are to be paid by wire transfer for approval. Documents flagged to be paid on paper checks will be skipped.
- Use the EFT Payment Batch Status program to indicate when an EFT Payment Batch has been accepted or rejected by the bank. All batches that have not yet been updated through the Payment Register display on this screen.
System-generated electronic payments and (printed), manual and noninvoice checks are not updated until the Payment Register has been run and updated. Checks can be reprinted and manual and noninvoice checks may be deleted or corrected until the time when the register is updated. If the register is incorrect, you can choose not to update. It is possible to reprint and update after corrections have been made. You can print multiple batches of checks before you print and update the Payment Register.
