CHECK

Use the Check subtask at any time during voucher entry to store information related to manual checks that have been issued against the voucher you are entering. To enter checks against vouchers that have already been entered and posted, use the Record Manual Checks screen. You can record only one manual check in this screen for a previously posted voucher.

Costpoint assumes that the check has already been prepared and sent to your vendor. Because of this, validations for pay-when-paid items and validations for a subcontractor or lien display as a warning, but you can still enter the manual check.

Check Information

Cash Account Description

This field displays the cash account description associated with the vendor.

Check Number

Enter the check number for the check that paid against this voucher. You can record only one manual check for the voucher in this screen. If more than one manual check was issued for this voucher, you can enter one here, post the voucher, and then record the other check(s) in the Record Manual Checks screen. It may be easier to post the voucher and record all manual checks for the voucher in the Record Manual Checks screen.

Check Date

Enter the date on which the check was issued.

Discount Taken

If a discount was taken on the voucher when it was paid, enter the amount here.

Check Amount

Enter the amount of the check that paid this voucher. If the manual check paid multiple vouchers, you must record the manual check against each individual voucher, recording against each that portion of the check that paid that particular voucher. For example, if a check paid two vouchers, one for 1,000 and one for 50, the total amount of the check was 1,050. However, when you record the manual check, the check amount will be 1,000 for the first voucher and 50 for the second.

You can enter a value equal to 0 or less than 0 in this field. Doing so allows you to assign multiple vouchers to one check number. You can process a zero-amount vendor payment using the Post Vouchers screen (Accounting » Accounts Payable » Voucher Approvals & Posting » Post Vouchers).
