Contents of the Configure Check Settings Screen
Use the fields and options to configure the Configure Check Settings screen.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Primary Signature |
Select this check box to print a signature on the first or only line of the check. |
Secondary Signature |
Select this check box to print a second signature on the check. You must select the Primary Signature check box to enable this one. |
Signature Limit |
Enter the payment amount above which Costpoint limits the signatures it prints on Accounts Payable checks. If you print signatures on checks, Costpoint compares the amount of each check to the amount you enter in this field. You choose to print signatures on checks on the Print/Void Checks screen. Costpoint uses the file you specify in the Location field to print signatures on those checks that do not exceed this amount. When you set up a primary signature but no secondary signature, Costpoint prints no signature on checks for amounts greater than the Signature Limit. When you set up both primary and second signatures, Costpoint prints only the primary signature on checks for amounts greater than the Signature Limit. |
Signature Req Message |
Costpoint enables this field when you select the Secondary Signature check box. The text that you enter here prints above the primary signature on every check. The following are examples of possible signature requirement messages:
