Reserving checks

If you use the same check stock for both manual and system payments, then you must reserve the checks you are using for manual payments. By using the same check stock, you cannot reuse the same check number. This procedure describes the process for reserving checks.

To require check reservation in the transaction code for manual payments, select Yes in the Manual Payment Reservation field on Cash Payments (CB00.7).

Note: To prevent a system check with the same number from being created, you must reserve the same form numbers for both manual payment and application payment transaction code.

To reserve checks:

  1. Access Manual Forms Reservation (AP81.1).
  2. Select the cash code, payment code and pay group combination for which you want to reserve forms.
  3. Specify the form numbers to reserve.
  4. In the Special Action drop-down menu, click Reserve.
    Note: The number of forms to reserve in the status bar is displayed.
  5. To confirm the number of forms to reserve, click Reserve.
