Write checks

Record outgoing bank payments with supported payee and expense lines.

Overview

Record outgoing bank payments with supported payee and expense lines.

Before you begin

Select the correct subsidiary and confirm the counterparty, currency, accounts, and reference data. Posting requires an allowed accounting period and the actions permitted by your configured role.

Main task

  1. Open Write Checks and create a check.
  2. Select bank, supported payee, date, currency, and period.
  3. Enter expense/account lines and review descriptions, dimensions, VAT/WHT, and payment total.
  4. Save, review numbering, and submit/approve as offered.
  5. Inspect GL impact and match the check to its statement row.

Check the result

Posted checks record outgoing bank movements. Bank document numbering follows account metadata.

If something goes wrong

Use Bill Payments for explicit bill settlement. Missing payees, invalid accounts, or locked periods can block checks. A saved draft does not itself mean approval or posting. Follow the record’s current actions and review rejection feedback before resubmitting.

Review and supporting evidence

Review the saved header and line descriptions, amounts, VAT/WHT where used, and linked records. After approval/posting, inspect GL Impact where offered. Add supporting files or notes through the record’s communication area.
