Use this program to prepare checks to be printed and then print the checks on check forms.
The same checks can be reprinted, if, for example, the printer jams and a number of checks print off alignment. When checks are reprinted, the original check is automatically voided. When the check print is performed, the system skips all invoices flagged to be paid electronically. The reprint check process can be used as often as needed until you run the Check Register update. Once the register updates a check, it can only be reprinted after the check has been voided.
Note: This program only creates and prints checks. It does not update the system. You must print and update the Check Register to update the system.
To print an alignment, click Print Options>Print Alignment from the menu.
To access this program, click Accounts Payable>Checks>Check Print.
Click field descriptions for information on each field.
The preparation of the checks is based on the documents selected for payment in the Payment Selection subsystem. The Payment Selection List should be printed for review prior to printing checks.
The Check Print outputs the checks by first printing The check voucher (also referred to as a check stub), which includes information such as comments, invoice number, date, and so on, is printed first. Then the check is printed after the check voucher.
If the check is for more invoices than can fit on one stub, the system automatically voids the first check and continues with the second stub. The checks are printed on the standard check forms based on the Bank F/M and the Check Print Control F/M programs.
Plain paper vouchers are printed only for the checks that are currently being printed. A second check run without first posting already printed checks will not produce vouchers for checks from both check runs.
You can archive information to Unform from the AP Check Print program. The check and the separate voucher are linked in the archive.The document type for both checks and separate vouchers is the same, Check, but the document ID differs by appending "-Vch" to the bank code and check number for the voucher.
When archiving to UnForm, the following Bank Code:{Bank code}, Check Date:{date YYYYMMDD}, and Sequencing sub-ids print at the conclusion of both the check print and the separate voucher print.
