Dear Team,

I am printing checks ok on my customized check spec.
Advice (top) +check (bottom)

Challenge is when the number of invoices being paid exceeds the length of the advice.

I input a blank sheet, but the system is assigning the paper a check number, how do I stop same from happening.

Thanks

Hi Edward

Don't input a blank sheet - let the system continue listing invoices on the next check's advice. That check will be Voided by the system. There is no downside to this except you are wasting a few check forms.

If you feel you are wasting too many check forms, you may want to consider printing the advices of those checks with lots of invoices separately. That is called an "Additional form" and the setup and use is fairly complicated to explain. See what you can learn by reading the manual, and if you have questions, post them here.

Thanks Steve,
I use the Additional Form feature.

We print these checks separately. Before Adagio Upgrade it worked fine, we put in blank paper and a check form and tell the system 1 or 2 Additional Form.

It would print out the paid invoices on the blank sheet-s and print check fine.

However now it is assigning a check number to the Additional Form or Forms.

This is what I need to know how to correct.
Example
Next Check # 1211
Number of Additional Forms 1
Check Number 1212

It is seeing each Additional form as a check.

Hope you understand, this is my challenge.

Hi Edward,

When you print checks with Additional Forms, the process involves printing all the checks with a specification that has and Advice that says only "As per attached" and then, after all the checks have printed and you are asked "Do you want to print additional forms?", placing regular stock in the printer and printing out all the advices for the checks that have been printed. You don't insert the blank stock after the check has printed.

Perhaps the default specification has changed without being noticed?

Hi Andrew,

I want to modifying my existing customized pre printed check specification for the client but I am not sure how to trigger the call for the "Print Additional Forms ?"

Is it as simple as remove Advice Details and replace with "As per attached" ?

Looking at the adagio sample specs provided (check with additional form)
which I used to test the scenario.

Thanks
Ed

The "additional forms" question is enabled/disabled under Edit | Banks.

Hi Edward,

While you may already be aware of this, your use of the word "trigger" leads me to say ...

Something to bear in mind is that Adagio's additional form processing is not "smart" (dare I say it) enough to distinguish between an instance where an additional form is needed from when one is NOT needed. It's an all or nothing scenario whereby the check run is either using a specification where the Advice merely states that you'll find the details on a separate form OR a specification where the details are actually printed on the Advice.

To my knowledge, the work around at present is that one can normally know which vendors are most likely to be the ones that cause an Advice overflow and therefore isolate them to a separate cheque run by using one or more of the "Transaction Selection" fields to filter appropriately.
