cheque numbering

Peter Baxter

Using Reckon Accounts Plus, select "write cheques" and the No. field is prefilled with the same thing every time and now it seems I can never get rid of, so I have to edit that field for every cheque that is written, how can one have that field appear unfilled or with a preset identifier??
This has been mentioned before and appears nothing cam of that.
Please do something about it Reckon

I don’t use that version but in every version I have used there is a box that allows to tick to be printed or cheque number

Peter Baxter

Dont want to print, just want Accounts to assign "debit" or "EFT" against them instead of having to manually change the entry every time, you would think that would be possible

Kris_Williams

I see what you mean, frustrating I’m sure, I just tick to print as I don’t need anything in that field except for the odd cheque number

Peter, This is something that Reckon development team should address as not many people use a cheque any more. In fact many don't even have a cheque book.

Yes, this is a bit of an annoying glitch!

It seems to retain whatever numerical data was last entered. Even if you change it to all letters (eg “EFT”entry), the next one will generate numerically based on the last numerical entry

Peter do you run payroll in your data file? I find that if you run a pay cheque with either DD or EFT instead of a number then the cheque numbering system retains that information and doesn't keep numbering the cheques.
Sometimes I run a dummy pay cheque just to change this as it's so annoying. After then running a normal cheque if you delete the pay cheque usually I find that it still retains the DD or EFT.
Hope that helps?

Peter Baxter

Hi Robyn, will only let you enter a numerical value, and had tried the method you offer with a numerical value but it did not work. I have no idea how the automatic entry gets there and less idea how to change it.

Peter - did you try running a pay run and on the last screen (reveiw & create payment) select the "assign cheque numbers" option and put either DD or EFT in the field available. This then brings up either DD or EFT in the next normal cheque you write.
This works for me every time.

Worked a treat, thanks Robyn
