Manual Check Entry (APE310)

How to

Use this program to add 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 cannot be specified for vendors on hold.

You must specify complete check information, including 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 is displayed on the next Payment Register and all applicable files are updated during the optional Payment Register update.

Creating a manual check does not by itself update the system.
