CHECK HISTORY INQUIRY

Use this screen to view check date, number, and amount information for posted checks. You can limit this information by cash account or use this screen to view information for only one posted check. Information in the Vouchers subtask can be limited by organization. Use the subtasks in this screen to "drill-down" through many layers of data, including information about the vouchers paid by a particular check, the voucher detail for both A/P and PO vouchers, and vendor addresses and contacts.

Use the Export button on the toolbar to export data from this screen to other files (e.g., Excel).

This screen is blank when you enter it. We recommend using Subquery to limit the amount of data before executing the Inquiry, or, if you want to view information for a particular cash account, organization, or check number, enter that information in the proper field or use Lookup before executing the Inquiry.

Use this screen whenever you need to view information for checks that have already been posted. Unposted checks do not display in the Check History Inquiry screen or in any of its subtasks.

Note: You can apply org security to only the voucher subtask of this function. Use this optional feature to grant or remove rights to view and/or update specific organizations to users. In order to do so, you must first set up the necessary org security screens in Costpoint System Administration. You can then activate org security through the use of the Maintain Users and System Settings screens. For more information about org security and how to apply it, see Special Topic SA-5, "Organizational Security," and the function documentation for org security in System Administration.

Cash Account

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the cash account number in this field, if you want to view information for a particular cash account. The name of the cash account displays in the non-editable field to the right. If you execute without entering a cash organization or a check number, the table window will display information for all cash organizations and check numbers associated with the cash account. To view checks for all cash accounts and organizations, leave all the header fields blank and execute the inquiry. If you leave this field blank, the table window will include a Cash Account column.

Cash Organization

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the organization number in this field, if you want to view check information for a particular organization. The name of the cash organization displays in the non-editable field to the right. If you enter the cash organization without entering a cash account number or a check number, the check information for all cash accounts associated with the cash organization displays in the table window. If you have already entered a cash account number, the information in the table window will be limited to that particular cash account/organization combination. To view checks for all cash accounts and organizations, leave all the header fields blank and execute the inquiry. If you leave this field blank, the table window will include a Cash Organization column.

Check Number

If you want to limit the information in the table window to a particular check, enter that check's number here. Although you can execute the inquiry based on check number alone, it will be easier to locate a specific check by also entering cash account, cash organization, fiscal year, and/or period information. If you enter a check number here, the Check Number column will not be included in the table window.

Address Code

Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid address code. The address code can be up to 10 alphanumeric characters and is stored in the Vendor Check table. Address codes are established in the Maintain Vendors screen.

Fiscal Year

If you want to view check information for a particular fiscal year, enter the fiscal year here or select one from the drop-down box. You can execute the inquiry based solely on fiscal year, or you can use the Fiscal Year field to further limit the check information displayed.

Period

If you want to view check information for a particular period, enter the number of the period here or select one from the drop-down box. Although you can execute the inquiry based solely on the period, we recommend that you also limit the inquiry by fiscal year, because you may have identically numbered periods in different fiscal years.
