Check Register

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to print a list of all the checks that have been recorded in the system. This will include checks that were printed in the system and those that were recorded as manual checks.

You can record checks that were issued manually by entering the check information in the Record Manual Checks screen (Accounting\Transactions\Checks) or the Check tab of the Enter A/P Vouchers screen (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers).

You can also view checks on this report prior to posting them to the General Ledger.

This screen consists of three blocks that can be used as follows:

Note: If you have changed a vendor's name in the Vendor User Flow screen (Accounting\Maintain\Vendors), remember that the Check Register screen uses the name the vendor had when the check was issued.

Also, the Check Register screen displays the address code used when the check was issued, which may not necessarily be the current address code for the vendor.

When should I use this screen?

You will generally run this screen at the end of an accounting period to obtain an audit trail for the checks issued or recorded in the accounting period. This report can also help you reconcile the bank statement, which is typically done on a monthly basis.

Note: You can apply org security to this function.

 

FAQs

I have not yet posted my cash disbursements, but they are appearing on my check register. Is this normal?

Unposted checks will print on the check register. Once a check is printed in the system, you will be prompted to update the history tables with the check information. Since this report gets its information from the history tables rather than from the General Ledger, checks are available on this report prior to posting them to the General Ledger.

If you enter a manual check in the Check tab of either the Enter AP Vouchers (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers) or Enter PO Vouchers screen (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers), the manual check will appear on this report once you have posted the voucher.

If you record manual checks in the Enter Manual Checks screen, the manual check will appear on this report once you have saved the record.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously-saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. If you select a previously-saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen.

When you save your record, all the selections you made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously-defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
