How to process Non A/P cheques
Non-AP Cheque Processing
This module is used to make two basic types of payments:
- One off payments or C.O.D. payments to suppliers or service providers where it is not necessary to post an invoice in Accounts Payable
- To pay out Customers for unused Credits on their accounts.
One off or C.O.D. Payments:
- Accounting > Banking Transactions > New Cheque icon
- Accept the default Bank Account (setup in system settings), or choose the Bank account to be uses for this payment
- Enter the Payee name and address
- Enter a brief memo in the Memo filed (This will print on the cheque) and the Stub Memo field ( This will print on the cheque stub)
- Click on the Add item icon
- Enter the Expense account # for the Purchase e.g. Deliver, Entertainment etc and click refresh
- Highlight the account, click OK and enter the Gross amount excluding GST in the Amount Column. (This amount should include the expense value plus PST value)
- Click on the Add item icon
- Enter the GST ITC account # and click refresh
- Highlight the account, click OK and enter the GST potion of the invoice
- The total should now agree with the invoice total.
- If paying by cheque you can either print the cheque immediately (File > print cheque) or save it and include it in a cheque run later. (see #15)
- If the cheque does not need to be printed (hand written) then click the overwrite box and enter the cheque number.
- Click on the save Icon and then on the Post payment icon

Click on the Re-Initialize Check # icon to confirm the next cheque number to be printed then click on the print tab
