Generate Check Payments and Check Numbers for the US

Use the Generate Check Payments process to generate check payments in a predefined format for all payees who have a check payment method and a net pay greater than $0.

The printed check format and check stub info can vary, based on your organization's requirements. Enter the starting check number, and optionally, an ending check number when you submit the check payment process.

Starting Check Numbers

Before you begin printing checks, verify the starting check number in the application matches the printed check.

Ending Check Numbers

You don't have to enter the ending check number, but there are benefits.

For example, it puts a break in the print job, which allows you to sync the numbers you entered as submission parameters with the numbers printed on the checks. You may need to print separate batches of consecutively numbered checks, such as when you have one box of checks numbered 4500 through 4999 and another box numbered 7000 through 7999. In this scenario, if you don't enter the last check number from the first box and print more than 500 checks, the payment process records incorrect check numbers for the remaining checks/cheques.
