How To Cash A Check

If you allow taxpayers to cash checks, you'll have a payment event with two tenders:

• The first tender contains information about the check.

• The second tender contains information about the cash refund (the tender amount is a negative amount equal to the amount of the check).

The interesting aspect of this payment event is that it has no payments because the sum of the tenders is zero.

We start this explanation in the middle of How To Add A New Payment Event.

In the Payment Event Add dialog, be sure to select Do Not Distribute before clicking OK.

• On the Main page, click - to remove the payment (cashing a check is a payment event with no payments).

• Transfer to the Payment Event, Tenders page.

• Insert a row in the tender scroll (click the + button) for the cash refund tender. In this row enter a tender type of "cash" and a tender amount of negative the check amount.

• Save the event (note there is nothing to distribute or freeze).
