Oops, sorry that must have been a Friday afternoon response. I meant to type 'Payables', not Receivables. The same scenarios apply.

Only Posted checks/batches will generate information that will be retrieved into Ledger. If you wanted to create a batch for August checks and print them, but not post them, then guaranteed these will not be retrieved into Ledger.

If you want to see what information will get retrieved into Ledger before you do it, within Payables is a 'GL Transactions' report under the Reports menu. You can sort this report by account, date, or journal entry for easy identification of information.
