Is it possible to have the default manual cheque specification different for one vendor than another vendor? even though both vendors print cheques from the same bank account?

Susan:

You cannot assign default specifications to a Vendor. You would need to manually change the spec when printing, a process which is error-prone.

But I'm curious, why would you want different cheque layouts? French/English?

Depending on what you need, PrintBoss could be a solution.

Hi Bruce,

One cheque I printed today had 280 invoices applied to it. Using our usual specification Adagio printed 25 void cheques with invoice numbers and amounts on the cheque stubs before finally printing the cheque at the very end. The cheque stubs are of no use to us for this vendor. We have to provide a report that shows the IN/CN Reference and Description with this vendors payment which is why I want to use the Additional Form because I can edit that form spec to provide the fields I need and print it to PDF.

I thought about creating a different spec for this group of vendors that skips the detail on the cheque stub and prints only the cheque itself and the additional form. If that won't work, I'm thinking maybe I can use the regular cheque specification but print to PDF instead of to the printer. Then we could open the PDF and print ONLY the last page to the printer.

That's exactly what additional forms are for. Assign vendors like this to a report group or separate control account to do them in a separate cheque run.
