Hand Checks

Use the Hand Checks option to manually prepare a check or record a payment that was made outside of the system ( i.e. you hand wrote a check and need to update the system). If you want to process a number of checks in a check run, see Check Processing.

The Hand Checks option is used to record and print individual checks for previously entered vouchers. Hand checks remove open items from accounts payable (AP) equal to the amount of the check. Vouchers and/or voucher adjustments can be applied in whole or in part.
