Print Checks for Invoices

Using this function, you can:

  • Select the cash account, check date, and check layout of the check
  • Print the checks
  • Void or reissue the checks
  • Print the check register and other reports
  1. On the Transactions tab, click Expenses > Print Checks for Invoices.
  2. Select the Sort Order you want at the top-right of the grid. If you need to filter the grid by vendor, discount date, or cut-off date, click Filter at the bottom and make your selections.
  3. In the Print Checks grid, select the invoices you want to mark for payment.
    Note: All selected invoices are paid from the same cash account. If multiple invoices are selected for payment for the same vendor, they are consolidated into one check by default.
  4. Select a cash account that you want to pay invoices with, and click Print Checks.
  5. Select the cash account, check layout style, and print order, then click Print Checks.
    CAUTION: If you have more invoices than can fit on the check stub, the program continues the list of invoices on the next check.
  6. If you need to reprint a check, void a check, or change a check number, click Reprint/Void Checks. You can also change the check layout style if you want to change how the first checks look.
    Note: If you void a check without reprinting it, the invoice goes back into the list of unpaid invoices.
  7. If you need to print any of the listed reports, click the button for it.
  8. After you print all checks that pay the selected invoices, click Finished.

The invoices display in the Paid Invoices window, the cash account is credited, other accounts are updated, and the checks are voided or validated.
