You can sometimes need to reassign check numbers from an Accounts Payable Print Checks batch if a problem occurred during printing, such as a paper jam, or entering the wrong starting check number.

Review these important considerations before trying to renumber the checks. Complete the steps below if you're ready to proceed.

Verify the range of checks

1. From the Reports menu, select Cash Management, Check Register.
2. Enter the range of check numbers that you want to reprint in the Check numbers from and to boxes.
3. Click Print Preview to view the report.
4. Verify that the checks you want to reprint are on this report.
5. Verify if the sequence contains voided, manual, or missing checks.
6. Change the Check numbers from and to boxes to the range you want to use.
7. Verify no checks exist with those numbers.
8. Click Close and then click Cancel.

Before you reprint

1. Make a backup of your data.
2. Confirm the checks have a status of Open in Cash Management.

Renumber the checks

If the checks fall in a range that you can renumber, follow these steps to reprint the checks with the correct check numbers.

If the checks don't fall in a range that you can renumber, void the checks and issue manual checks with the correct numbers.
