How to print a batch of Checks

Besides printing a check manually, checks can be printed in batches.  The check template used is called: ACCPAC Simply Accounting.  Blank checks can be purchased for this standardize template.

Here are the steps to print check batches.

First open the Check List window.  Click the Accounting menu bar selection and pick the Checks option.

Below is the Payables - CHECKS option.

In this slide the 'Check List' window is featured.  

The window opens with the list of checks that have the status 'NotCashed.'  The next step is to view the check list with the status, 'ToBeIssued.'  Select the 'ToBeIssued' status from the top left drop down list.

In this slide, the check status drop down menu list is shown.

After selecting the check list status, 'ToBeIssued,' select the bank account that you want to view.  The bank account was linked when the check was entered.  If your team has only one bank account then simply skip this step.

Next click on the check box located at the bottom right hand corner of the window.  This check box is labelled, 'Multiple selection Mode.'

The multiple selection mode check box is illustrated below.

Once you have checked the multiple selection mode check box the checks can be selected for printing.

To select a check, click the left hand grey area in the row of the check.  

How many checks you select are up to you.  Hold down the control <<Ctrl>> key and click the checks to be printed.  If all the checks are to be selected or a group of checks, hold down the shift <<Shift>> key and click the top row and then the bottom row.

Selected checks are highlighted in yellow.

In this next slide, three checks are selected.

After the checks are selected, click the button labelled, 'Print all Checks.'  

Below is the print button.

The software asks the user to confirm the selection.  If not already done a check number is given the check and it is printed.  The number of the checks are sequential and begins one greater than the previous check issued.

In this final slide, the Check List window is illustrated after the three checks have been printed.  They have a number assigned to them and their status is changed to, 'NotCashed.'

The next time the window is opened, those checks printed will be listed in the 'Check List' window in the list of 'NotCashed' status.
