When we print cheques in AP, they automatically use the NEXT available cheque number. This is great. However, when we print Blank Cheque Stock (for Paymate), AP automatically uses the NEXT cheque number from the last time we printed Blank Cheque Stock. Since we only print Blank Cheque Stock occasionally (maybe 100 at a time) the next number defaults to numbers we have long since used in AP. Is there a way to have Blank Cheque stock default to the NEXT available cheque number? Also, is there a way to have the Print Blank Check Stock default to a particular Specification?

Hi, Susan,

Edit the bank and, on the Series tab, enter the number you want to be printed on the first cheque for this blank cheque stock run.

Thanks!

Susan,

Some people use a whole different number sequence for blank checks. This immediately flags them as "different" when they are processed.

Yes, based on how I understand Edit/Bank/Series, I pretty much have to use a different number sequence for blank cheques. This is okay. Much easier than trying to keep track and use the next Payable number. Now that I know about this setting, we set them up as starting with 10000 for cheques, 30000 for manual cheques, 50000 blank cheques and similarly for our US account. No more confusion. :-)
