Accounts Payable > Payments to AP Invoices > Computer Check Payment > Print AP Check

After you have selected the invoices to pay in the Transaction Selection Page, AccountMate will then allow you to proceed to the Print Check Page.

If you marked the Process Printed Check checkbox in the Transaction Selection Page and there are invoices for which you want to print AP checks, the fields in the Print Check Page becomes enabled. This page allows you to print a check.

To print checks, perform the following steps:

1.Accept or amend in the Starting AP Check # field the starting check number for the computer checks you want to print. The default value in this field comes from the Next Computer Check # field in the Bank Account Maintenance record.

2.Enter in the Check Date field the date that you want to be printed in the computer checks. The default date is the system date. You may click the Fiscal Period Table Lookup button to display the Fiscal Period Table Lookup page to view whether the date selected belongs to a period that is restricted.

3.If you want to put the checks on-hold, mark the Hold All Checks checkbox. You can change the on-hold status of these checks by accessing them using the Release On-hold Check function from the Transactions menu.

4.Review the information in the No. of Checks and Total Check Amount fields. The values in these fields must reflect the total count and total amount, respectively, of the computer checks selected for printing.

5.Click the Alignment Test button to print for alignment testing purposes only. AccountMate treats "alignment test” checks as voided checks. If your printer requires that an additional check (above the alignment test check) be used for the printer tractor mechanism, that additional check should be clearly marked “void” on its face, and should be recorded as void in the Accounts Payable system. Repeat the alignment test procedure until your checks are properly positioned. When your checks are properly aligned, indicate that you are ready to proceed.

6.Click the Print button to proceed with the printing.

7.After you click the Print button, the Print Check Report Preview Page will display where you can preview or proceed with printing the checks.

7.1. Click the Printer icon to display Microsoft's Print window.

7.2. In the Select Printer area, select the printer from which you want to print the checks.

7.3. Click the OK button to confirm printing the checks.

8.Once checks are printed from the system, review each of the physical printed check to assess whether or not reprinting is necessary.

9.If you selected Process Printed Checks only in the Transaction Selection page, clicking the Next button will display the Summary Page. If you have selected both Process Printed Checks and Process Direct Deposits in the Transaction Selection page, click the Next button to proceed with the printing of electronic payment checks.
