Contents of the Assign Payment Numbers Dialog Box

Use these fields and options to number your checks by payment type.

Field	Description
Check Number	Enter the number that is printed on the check in its magnetic ink character recognition line.
Assign to	Select the Remaining Payments option to assign check numbers if the check numbers in your check file are sequential. Select the Single Payment option to assign a number to one or more checks individually. Use this option to reprint checks if the printer jams or any other printing problem occurs while you are printing checks.
Assignment Order	Select Ascending or Descending.
Diary	This field displays only if you have set up a diary on the Diary AutoNumbering tab of Settings > Advanced Accounting > System for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions. Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction, or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in an accounts payable payment processing run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions. The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type. The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary AutoNumbering tab that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them. If you use multiple companies, the Diary drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions. You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.
