      How to Enter Outstanding Cheques

      This article will cover how to Enter Outstanding Cheques i.e., unpresented/uncleared cheques to be included in the bank reconciliation for reconciliation purposes. This process is an additional step when migrating from another accounting software solution.

      Note: 

      • Cheques entered using Enter Outstanding Cheques do not affect the General Ledger or Clients/Matters. They only affect the “Outstanding Cheque List” and relevant Bank Reconciliation.

      To enter outstanding cheques: 

      1. Click on Maintenance
      2. Select Enter Outstanding Cheques
      3. Bank  - Select the bank the outstanding cheques were written from
      4. Date  - Select or enter date of the cheque
      5. Payment Type  - Select the payment type
      6. Cheque / Reference Number - Enter the cheque number or the reference number
      7. Payee - Select or enter the Payee
      8. Amount - Enter the amount of the cheque
      9. Click on Save
      10. Unposted Outstanding Cheques - Outstanding cheques entered and saved will be listed below. These can be edited or removed before posting.
      11. Click on Post and Close

      Tips: 

      • Cheques entered using Enter Outstanding Cheques will affect the bank reconciliation.
      • For standard bank transaction the processes Write Trust Cheques, Write General Cheques and Write Trust Transfer Cheques should be used.

      Note: 

      • Unreconciled/Uncleared deposits cannot be entered but should be cleared before migration.
