Introduction - Enter and post payables checks
You can issue electronic and manual checks in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Both methods use the payment journal to issue checks to vendors. You can also void checks and view check ledger entries.
The process of issuing checks suggests payments, creates ledger entries, and prints the computer checks.
To issue checks, perform the following steps:
Select the search for page icon in the top-right corner of the page, enter payment journals, and then select the related link.
Fill in the journal with relevant payments, for example, by using the Suggest Vendor Payments function.
In the Bank Payment Type field on the journal lines for the payment that you want to make with checks, select one of the following options:
Computer Checks - Select this option if you want to print a check for the amount on the payment journal line. You must print the checks before you can post the journal lines. You can only select Computer Checks if the Bal. Account Type or the Account Type is Bank Account.
Manual Check - Select this option if you have created a check manually and want to create a corresponding check ledger entry for this amount. By using this option, you can't print checks from Business Central. You can only select Manual Check if the Bal. Account Type or the Account Type is Bank Account.
If you selected the Computer Checks option, then select Print Check.
In the Check window, fill in the fields as necessary. Select a field to read a short description of the field or select the link for more information.
Select the Print button.
Check printing is affected by the settings in the Document No. field on the Suggest Vendor Payments batch job and the One Check per Vendor per Document No. field on the Print Check report.
When you post checks, a check ledger entry is made to record the check in Business Central.
