Operations Menu - Payment - Print Cheques

If you specify the Serial Number of an Own Cheque record in the Cheque No. field on flip C of a Payment row, you can then use this function to print that Own Cheque immediately, without the need to change to the Cheques module. You will usually use this function from a Payment that has a Payment Mode in which the Type is "Own Cheques", in which case you must connect Payments to Own Cheques. There is no need to save a Payment before using this function, or to mark it as Ordered or OK.

You can also print Own Cheques in batches. To do so, first change to the Cheques module using the [Module] button in the Master Control panel. Then, click the [Documents] button, also in the Master Control panel, and double-click 'Own Cheques' in the 'Documents' list window. Enter the Serial Number (or range of Numbers) (i.e. not Cheque Numbers) of the Own Cheques that you want to be printed and press [Run].

Whether you print singly or in batches, the Form used will be determined as follows:

  1. Design the cheque document using the Form register in the System module. Use the 'Properties' function on the Operations menu to name the Form (in this description, we have used the name "OWN_CHEQUE") and to assign it a Document Type of "Own Cheques".

  2. Select the Cheques module using the [Module] button in the Master Control panel.

  3. Click the [Documents] button in the Master Control panel. The 'Documents' list window will be opened: highlight 'Own Cheques'.

  4. Select 'Define Document' from the Operations menu.

  5. In the subsequent 'Form Definition' window, enter "OWN_CHEQUE" in the Form field in the first row (you can use 'Paste Special' to ensure the spelling is correct).

  6. Click [Save] to save the Form definition. From now on, the Form that you have designed will be used, from the 'Documents' function in the Cheques module and when selecting 'Print Cheques' from the Operations menu when viewing a Payment.
