The Check Settings Page allows you to select the check layout that matches the blank or pre-printed check stock form your company use. Here you can enter the information about the bank branch where you maintain your bank account, customize data the system will print on the check form. It is also in this tab that you specify the order in which AccountMate will print the bank fractional routing #, bank account # and check # in the MICR line. Finally, you can use this tab to set up and maintain signature files that will be used when generating computer checks for the bank account.
To set up custom check printing, perform the following:
1.Set up the following parameters for all checks issued from this bank account:
oAll checks use same starting check #
Mark this checkbox if computer and handwritten checks are to share the same check number sequence. Otherwise, do not mark this checkbox. The setting in this checkbox does not apply to the Next E-Payment Check # field in the E-Payment Settings Page. |
oNext Computer Check #
Enter in this field the check number that the system will assign to the next computer check printed for this bank account. After you enter a number in this field, the system automatically updates the number sequentially each time you print a computer check. If you edit this number later, the new number should be greater than the highest number already used, unless you are starting a new, lower sequence. The system will not allow you to enter a check number that has already been used for this bank account. |
oNext Handwritten Check #
This field is for the check number that the system will assign to the next handwritten check posted for this bank account. The system will then update the number sequentially each time you record a handwritten check payment after the fact. If you amend this number later, the new number should be greater than the highest number already used, unless you are starting a new lower sequence. The system will not allow you to enter a check number that has already been used for this bank account. |

2.Set up the maximum disbursement amount for computer or handwritten checks issued from this bank account. In the Maximum Amount Allowed area, enter values in the following fields:
oComputer Check
Enter in this field the default maximum disbursement amount that can be printed for computer checks from this bank account. |
oHandwritten Check
Enter in this field the default maximum disbursement amount that can be posted for handwritten checks from this bank account. |
