Clear the check printing flag

Caution: Verify that no Accounts Payable or Payroll check printing tasks remain open. If you've closed all tasks, clear the check printing flag for the affected bank code. 
Use the GLWSKA utility to clear the check printing flag:
  1. In Sage 100 Desktop, click File, Run. For instructions, see How to enable File Run.
  2. In the Program field, enter GLWSKA.
  3. Click OK.
  4. In Bank Code to Clear, enter the affected Bank Code.
  5. Click Proceed.
  6. Click Yes when the warning message appears.
  7. Click Exit
Return to Accounts Payable Manual Check Entry, Accounts Payable Check Printing and Electronic Payment, or Payroll Check Printing to complete the printing or reprinting process. For additional information, see How to reprint Accounts Payable Checks, Payroll Checks, or Payroll Direct Deposit Stubs that have not been updated.
Tip: Select Print Checks Already Printed if you need to complete the check run.
