Use the Check Printing screen to print checks for approved payables. You can print multiple or single checks, as well as manually post checks when the need arises. Typically, before printing checks, you need to approve invoices for payment using the A/P Preview Queue. For more information, see Approving Payable Invoices.
Regardless of the source of the check, the system assigns every disbursement a seven-digit transaction number with a prefix of D and a generation suffix of .001 (D0002234.001). For example, you would see such a transaction number on the A/P Preview Queue.
The system generally prints out checks in a standard check format, with the amount displayed in numerals in the right corner of the check, and written out in the left side of the check. If you change the currency for your checks and use non-U.S. currency, the system prints out checks so that the amount displays in numerals in both the right corner and the left side of the check.
