To record a check (Bank Register)

The Bank Register window should be displayed.

If you need greater control over how the check is entered, click the Split button to display the Receive Money window, where a more detailed entry can be made. If this payment is to be made in a foreign currency, you must use the Spend Money window for this transaction.

Select the bank account that will be used to write the check.

In the Type field, select Spend Money, if it isn't already selected.

Review the transaction number and transaction date and change them if necessary.

Using the Card field, select the payee's card, or enter the payee's name in the Name field if you don't have a card for the person.

Enter the amount paid.

A check number can be voided by leaving the Amount fields blank

Enter the account that will be reduced -- "paid off," in effect -- by this transaction. (If you require more than one allocation account, click the Split button and continue entering this transaction in the Spend Money window.)

Enter a short, descriptive comment in the Memo field, if you like. This information will appear on a number of reports.

Click Print if you want a printed check. Click Record if you don't need a printed check at this time. If you like, you can print the check later using the Print Checks window.
