Print A/P Computer Checks
Accounts Payable Menu -> A/P
Payments -> Print A/P Computer Checks
Accounts Payable Menu -> A/P
Payments -> Select Invoices - Computer
Checks -> Print A/P Computer Checks
The Edit report and computer checks may be printed directly from
Select Invoices - Computer Checks or may
be printed from the Print Computer Checks option on the
menu.
The optional Edit Report prints first on plain paper, then
pre-printed check forms need to be loaded into the printer. A print
alignment tests to make sure the checks are lined up correctly.
If the invoices to be listed on the check stub exceeds 8 to 10
invoices, the paper needs to be changed once again so a separate
overflow Remittance Advice report listing these invoices can be
printed.
Note: The separate Remittance Advice report for overflow only
applies to the "letter paper check printing format" and not to the
A4 format.
The A4 format uses Voided checks to list the overflow.
Check Format Setup:
- A check format of Standard or CPA can be defined in the "Check
Printing Options" window of the Company
Information
- Laser check forms can be used in Letter Paper or A4 Paper size,
as determined by the Print Options flag for A/P Checks in Company Information.
Dot Matrix checks are not supported.
- Depending on your firm's check format the check itself can be
printed at the top of the form with the stubs below, or can be
printed in the middle of the form as defined in the "Check Printing
Options" window of the Company Information
setup.
- Using a Web App or Open Client, a PDF SETTINGS
button in the Printer Selection window
and in the print Confirmation Alignment
Screen, can be used to maintain the alignment settings for
Check printing in the PDF Check and Statement
Formatting window.
- Suppliers can be flagged in Vendor
Information to receive check payments in the alternate
language.
The wording of the text printed on computer checks for standard
documents and Crystal Forms is controlled by the language file as
setup in Document Field Labels.
For Jasper documents refer to Jasper Appearance and
Formatting window of Customer Forms
for the language and label controls.
- An 'Alternate Payee' with an associated address can be defined
for a Vendor in the Alternate Pay To
Information window so that all checks for that Vendor are paid
to and mailed directly to the financiers instead of the
supplier.
The 'Vendor name on file' will also print on the check stub.
The prompts to imitate the print run are:
-
- STARTING CHECK #
- Refer to your pre-printed checks in the printer to determine
the first check number.
This includes any print alignment test check numbers.
CHECK DATE- Accept today's date or enter the date for the computer
checks.
CURRENCY CODE- Accept the currency displayed or type in the desired
currency.
Each currency must have its own check run.
G/L BANK ACCOUNT- Accept the G/L Bank Account displayed for this currency, or
type in another bank account.
The checks will be paid from this account.
PRINT EDIT LIST- Check this box to print the Edit report of the Vendors and
Invoices selected for payment.
The edit report is a useful check, confirming the payments being
generated.
This report reflects the 'Alternate Payee' if defined for a Vendor
in the Alternate Pay To Information.
Uncheck this box to skip the Edit report.
Finished?- Click the ACCEPT button to generate the output, or click the
CANCEL button to abort.
EDIT REPORT- The Edit Report prints if requested.
CONFIRMATION SCREEN to Start the Print Run- Options to print the checks or adjust the print alignment are
provided in the Confirmation Screen to Start
the Print Run window.
This prompt is repeated until the checks are printed.
CONFIRMATION SCREEN to Print the Overflow Remittance
Advices- This prompt is only triggered after the checks have been
printed with the "letter paper check printing format" when the
number of invoices being paid exceeds 8 or 10 invoices depending on
your check format.
Options to change paper and to print the overflow Remittance Report
are provided.
The 'Description' field on the overflow report comes from the
'Invoice Note' captured in the A/P
Invoice. Print confirmation is required in the Confirmation Screen window.
This separate overflow Remittance Advice report only applies to
the "letter paper check printing format" and not to the A4
format.
The A4 format uses Voided checks to list any overflow.
CONFIRMATION SCREEN to Accept the Printed Checks/Remittance
Advices- After the checks have been printed, options to accept all of
the checks or just some of the checks are provided in the Confirmation Screen of Print Check Run
window.
If the partial option is selected the Partial
Select A/P Computer Checks screen is generated where checks
that are correct and do not need to be reprinted can be flagged as
OK and checks that require reprinting can be unchecked.
POSTING- Once the checks are printed successfully, post the checks from
Print Check Register and Post.
Posting Control
The Print Computer Check program is designed to be run by
one operator at a time.
Locking will occur if an operator did not exit the posting program
correctly.
A Posting Control Information warning
will appear on the screen and only operators with Security Role permission to reset the A/P and
G/L Checks flag will have access to the RESET
button that unlocks the program.
Whenever the posting control flag for A/P Checks is reset, a record
is written to the Delete Log for the
Function APCH91A.
Pre-printed Checks
The same pre-printed check can be used by both the Accounts Payable
check printing program and also the General Ledger check printing
program for convenience.
