Post Tab Accounts Payable>A/P Check Writing

Top  Previous  Next

Overview

 

In the Post tab, a user can print checks, post checks, and void checks. The grid on the top of the Post tab is the check queue. When you first enter this tab, the system will display a list of checks that have been prepared to be printed. The normal operation is to first print the checks. Once you have printed the checks, a flag will be marked next to the checks. You can now print labels and long stubs for all checks that are flagged as printed. Finally, you post the checks to the Disbursement Journal. Checks will be posted for only those checks that are flagged as printed (or voided). Once the checks have been posted, they are removed from the queue.                                                                                        

 

Note: In the case of printer jams you may need to void or reprint checks. The grid at the bottom of the screen retains the list of voided checks.
