Starting Check Number

On the A/P Check Printing/Posting form, enter the check number you want to print on the next check. The starting check number increments automatically as the checks are being printed.

On the Print/Post Payroll Checks form, the next check number displays for the selected bank code, but you can change it. This number will be printed on the preprinted forms.

If the printer does not allow checks to print on the first form, the first check must be voided each time checks are printed.

This number is automatically incremented for each alignment or live check that's printed.

For example, if check numbers 90 through 104 were used the last time that checks were run, the default for the starting check number is 105. However, you select to print a form alignment, which automatically increments the Starting Check Number field by 1 to 106. The system automatically voids check 105.
