Before you get started

Setting up Check on Demand to immediately print a check

1. Open Connect Check on Demand > Organization > Organization.

2. Select the checkbox titled from the Require a Check Number.

3. Set up the Auto-increment the Check Number checkbox.

If the check numbers that you will use in Check on Demand match the check numbers on the check stock that you're using in the printer, then select the Auto-increment the Check Number checkbox.

If you're not sure or you don't want to use this feature, do not select the Auto-increment Check Number checkbox.

4. Click Save (CTRL+S).

The default setting is set up to immediately print a check after its entered.

Entering and printing a check

1. Open Connect Check on Demand > Checks > Enter Checks.

The Options dialog box displays.

2. Enter the Check Date.

This is the date that prints on the check. Because the check will print immediately after it is entered, use the current date as the Check Date.

3. Set up the Allow Checks to be Updated to the General Ledger checkbox.

When this checkbox is selected, the checks will update to the General Ledger to credit the bank account and debit the GL account that you use when you enter the check. Make sure you enter the journal code to post checks (CDC, etc.).

When this checkbox is not selected, you can enter checks but the checks will not be updated to the General Ledger. For example, when you enter checks that need to be printed immediately but you know that later you will need to enter the checks as a manual check in Accounts Payable.

4. Select the Print Checks checkbox.

5. Click OK.

The Enter Checks screen displays. You may be prompted to save your options.

6. Enter the check information as usual.

7. Click Save (CTRL+S).

The Print Forms dialog box displays.

Print Forms

8. Click Yes.

The check is sent to the printer.
