Master Records > Bank Account > Set Up Bank Account

The Signature page allows you to set up and maintain signature settings that will be used when generating computer checks for the bank account. It also allows you to configure the signature settings based on a range of check amounts.

Note: This page is disabled if the bank account is not a checking account type.

To set up the signature files and to configure the signature settings, perform the following:

1.In the Signature grid, click the Append row to end button to activate a new blank line.

2.Enter in the Check Amount Up To field the maximum amount of an individual check that requires approval from certain authorized signatories. You may enter a maximum check amount for each range of check amounts that requires approval from certain authorized signatories. If there is no maximum check amount set, leave the default value of "99999999.99" in this field.

3.If you want AccountMate to print the checks with an authorized signature, click the List Box button in the Signature 1 field column to choose from among the available signatures maintained in AccountMate.

Note: To set up additional signature files, click on any Signature field to display the Signature Maintenance function window. For more information on setting up signature files, refer to the discussion on Signature Maintenance topic.

4.If you want AccountMate to print the checks with a line beneath the first signature (i.e., "AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE" beneath a line), click the List box button in the Print Line 1 field and select "Yes" to signify that you want the first signature line printed on the checks; otherwise, choose "No."

5.If you want AccountMate to print on the checks a second authorized signature, click the List box in the Signature 2 field to choose from among the available signatures maintained in AccountMate.

6.If you want AccountMate to print the checks with a line beneath the second signature (i.e., "AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE" beneath a line), click the List box button in the Print Line 2 field and choose "Yes" to signify that you want the second signature line printed on the checks; otherwise, choose "No."

7.For each range of check amounts that requires approval from certain authorized signatories, add a new line in the grid. You may click the Append row to end button to activate a new blank line at the bottom of the grid, or click the Insert row before current button to insert a blank line above the currently selected line in the grid; then, repeat steps 1 through 6.

8.To remove a record from the grid, select the line that you want to delete; then, click the Delete button in the grid toolbar.

9.Click the Preview button to display the Signature Preview window that shows the chosen signature(s) and signature line(s).
