  • Click Add to add a new transaction, or double-click on an entry (or single-click and click on the Edit button) to edit it

Step 2: Print Cheque Later

  • Enter the relevant transaction details making sure that the transaction type is Payment
  • Tick the Print Cheque Later box to be able to print the cheque for this transaction
  • Click OK to save this transaction

Step 3: Unprinted Cheques

  • Click Transactions
  • Unprinted Cheques menu option. This will display a list of all cheques that have been marked as "Print Cheque Later"

Step 4: Remittance Advice

  • Make sure that all cheques to be printed are "ticked" - right click to "toggle" this tick on/off
  • If a remittance advice is required for payments, to be emailed or printed, make sure the printer icon is displayed in the "Remit" column next to each relevant payment. Use right click to "toggle" this tick on/off
Note: Payments with no tick will not be printed and will remain on the unprinted cheque list for later processing

Step 5: Print

  • Check that the first cheque number to be used is correct and that the form alignment settings are correct

Step 6: Removed Printed Cheques

Step 7: Remove or Re-Print

  • To permanently remove a payment from the unprinted cheque list, go to the cashbook listing screen and edit the transaction and "untick" the Print Check Later checkbox - click on the OK button to save
  • To re-print a cheque due to printer malfunction, etc. simply edit the relevant transaction from the cashbook listing screen and tick the Print Cheque Later checkbox on the entry screen. Then go to Transactions/Unprinted Cheques and print the cheque again
