Cheque printing

Cheques print from a template like every other document, so the layout fits the pre-printed stock you already buy, and the payment behind the cheque is an ordinary posting.

• Print a cheque for a single payment, or for a whole payment run at once.
• The layout is a LaTeX or HTML template you edit in the application, positioned to your cheque stationery.
• The amount prints in words as well as figures, in the language of the document.
• Cheque numbers are tracked against the payment and the bank account they were drawn on.
• Reprint a cheque, or void one, without disturbing the posting behind it.
• Payments to several vendors are selected on one screen and printed in one pass.
• Where the bank prefers a file to paper, the same run exports as a payments file instead.

Paying a vendor by cheque

1. Open Cash › Payment, pick the vendor and press Update. Their open invoices are listed with the amount due on each.
2. Tick Paid on the invoices this cheque covers, or type a partial amount. The total appears at the foot.
3. Set the bank account, the date, the payment method and the cheque number in Source.
4. Choose Check in the document selector and press Print; the cheque prints from the template with the amount in words, then the payment is posted.
5. Cash › Payments does the same for several vendors in one run.

Voids, reissues and the template

1. Cash › Void Check lists printed cheques; voiding one reverses the payment and leaves a record of both.
2. Reissue Check prints a replacement against the same payment with a new number.
3. The layout is check.html (or check.tex for PDF) under System › Templates; open it in the editor and move fields to match your stationery.
