Writing a Check

Problem Description

How to write checks from the Enter Transactions screen

Solution Description

Before printing checks from Write-Up, make sure: 

1. The bank account is setup
2. The bank is setup for MICR encoding, if laser generating checks.
3. You are using EasyACCT- approved check stock.
4. Verify in the Company Information screen, the Bank ID is entered.

To generate checks from the Write-Up, Enter Transactions screen: 

1. Go to Write-Up, Enter Transactions and click Write Checks.
2. You may select a Check type (employee or vendor) to automatically complete the payee information. Or you can bypass this field and directly type the payee information in the Pay To field.
3. Enter the account and amount.
4. Click Print.
5. The check will then appear on the Enter Transactions screen.
6. Print the general ledger report to post (this is not required if the automatic posting feature is used).

To distribute the check to multiple general ledger accounts (vendor checks only):

1. In the Write-Checks screen, enter the first account and amount.
2. Select Multi-Distribution and enter the second account and amount.
3. Repeat until all accounts have been entered.
4. When finished click Print.

 Note: Memos print only on check stubs.
