Check Run Maintenance

Table of Contents

Overview

Check runs are established to schedule payment of vouchers. When vouchers are entered, they are automatically scheduled on the next check run that will allow payment of the voucher prior to the due date on the invoice. If there is a cash discount date, the voucher is scheduled on the last check run prior to the discount date so the discount can be taken. When checks are printed, choose which check run to print and all of the vouchers scheduled on that check run are paid.

For each day, the number of check runs scheduled as well as the total dollar amount of vouchers scheduled on that day is displayed.
