Check

A check transaction creates and records a check used to pay an expense, records an expense paid in cash and not entered as a bill, or records a non-check debit transaction, such as a debit card transaction, ATM (automated teller machine) transaction, or EFT (electronic funds transfer) payment. A check transaction records an expense directly to your books by debiting the expense account specified in the transaction detail and crediting the bank account the check selected for the check.

Usage Notes

The following sections provide usage notes for specific fields and sublists.

Using Landed Cost Fields

When you create a landed cost category, the associated field IDs for the first category are landedcostamount1 and landedcostsource1. If you create a second category, the IDs will be landedcostamount2 and landedcostsource2.

This pattern increments by one with each additional category. For example, the IDs for the next landed cost category will be landedcostamount3 and landedcostsource3, and so on.

Using the Payee Address Sublist

Payee address data is stored in a subrecord instead of a text field. On the Check form in the UI, the address information is now displayed in a sublist instead of a single field. SuiteScript includes specialized APIs that you must use to script with subrecord data. You should use these subrecord APIs to script with payee address data.

For details about scripting subrecords with SuiteScript 2.x, see:

• SuiteScript 2.x Scripting Subrecords

• Record Object Members

• CurrentRecord Object Members

• About the Address Subrecord

Warning:

This change may impact existing scripts that reference check payee address data. You should review these scripts to determine whether updates are needed.
