How to get to Maintain Checks: Click on
Accounts Payable, then
Maintain Checks.
Manual Accounts Payable checks are entered from this screen.
- In the Checking Account # field enter the account number that the check is going to be written on. If these accounts have not yet been set up, go to Maintain A/P System File to input that information.
- Click the Unassigned Check # box to input a transaction that does not require a check number, like an ATM withdrawal.
- Under the Default Info tab, enter the Check Date and the Check Amount in the related field.
- Enter a brief Description.
- Use the arrow next to the G/L Period field to scroll and select the appropriate period.
- Type the invoice number in the Invoice No field.
- When checked, the Create/Pay New Voucher box will let automatically make a new voucher and pay it. This is nice when you are paying a voucher as soon as you've received it.
- To Create G/L Entries for this transaction make sure that this box is checked.
- The Vouchers Paid tab is a listing of all the vouchers being paid by this check. If you checked the Create/Pay New Voucher box in the Default Info tab, the new voucher will be displayed here. The Voucher # link will bring up the screen below where you can also apply this money to a job in job cost:
- If you are paying an existing voucher, click on the Add Vouchers button and enter the information needed to bring in that voucher. To pay more than one voucher, repeat this process for each one. To add costs to a job in Job Cost, use the look up button next to the Job # fields to find the job and enter the Job Amt and select a Job Phase (these will appear if phases are applied to the job in Job Cost). Adding a job number on the voucher like this will apply the voucher for the amount specified to the Job Detail Report.
- Make sure that the total on this page adds up with the Check Amount on the previous screen.
- Under the G/L Accounts tab are the entries related to the current transaction.
- After all the information has been verified and is correct, click on the Save button in the upper left corner to process this transaction.
- Maintain Checks will update the check register. You do not have to use Maintain Checks to show vouchers as paid. You can also Select Vouchers For Payment and Print Checks.
