Operations Menu - Payment - Assign Cheque Number

This page describes the 'Assign Cheque Number' function on the Operations menu in the Payment record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Assign Cheque Number' function is on the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon).

---

The 'Assign Cheque Number' function allows you to add cheque numbers to each row in a Payment, based on the cheque numbers used in previous Payments. After creating a new Payment and specifying the Purchase Invoice(s) that you want to pay, simply choose this function from the Operations menu (Windows/Mac OS X) or Tools menu (iOS/Android). A cheque number will be placed in the Cheque Number field on flip C of each Payment row, calculated by incrementing by one the last cheque number in the previous Payment entered that has a Payment Mode whose Type is "Free". The previous Payment does not have to be marked as Ordered or OK. If there is no previous Payment with a Cheque Number, the cheque number sequence will begin at 1. Rows with the same Supplier will be given the same cheque number.

You should not use this function in a Payment where the Type of the Payment Mode is "Own Cheques" or "Received Cheques". In these cases you should use other methods to assign cheque numbers (the 'Prepare Cheques' or 'Cheque Run' Operations menu functions for "Own Cheques" or 'Paste Special' from the Cheque No. field in a Payment row for both Payment Mode Types).
