Click Prepare Checks on the Review page to display the Checks page. If the payment amount for any of the vendor accounts is a negative amount you will see an error message.
When you prepare checks the following processes run:
If the check range for the bank account is not active, or it has insufficient check numbers, you will see an error message and the Review page is redisplayed.
The payment data is prepared.
The data is stored in three payment data objects that your printing application uses to print the correct information on your checks and remittances. See Payment Media for more information.
If you have included any vendors with a zero payment value, these are excluded from the payment data. You can't print checks or remittances for these vendors, but their transactions are matched during the Post & Match stage.
If an error occurs, the status is set to "Preparing Data Error" and an error reason is recorded in the Payments Plus Error Log object. See Viewing the Payments Plus Error Log for more details.
Print the checks
Now, go to your external check printing application to print your checks.
Review the check numbers
The Check Numbering Detail section lists the vendors, their corresponding payment amounts, and automatically allocated check numbers.
If the payment amount for any of the vendor accounts is a zero value, the check number field is disabled and no payment data is stored. You can't print a check or remittance for this vendor.
Your next step depends on whether the check numbers have been correctly allocated or not:
If the check numbers correspond, click Post & Match to start the Post and Match process. See Post and Match for more details.
If something has gone wrong (missing or incorrect check numbers, gaps or duplications), you must take some action first. Some examples and their solutions are described in Adjusting Check Numbers. When the problem has been resolved, click Post & Match to start the Post and Match process.
