How do I keep my AP checks from using more than one check stock to list the invoices?
Description
Cause

The vendor's Payment Stub Settings (Setup, Vendors, Payment Settings tab) is set to List all invoices on stub.

If the number of invoices selected for payment exceeds the Body depth (number of lines in the Body) on the Check Stub format (typically 13 or 14 lines), it will void additional checks needed to list all the invoices on the additional stubs.

Note: If using a third party check writing software and printing a zero dollar check, the third party software may be set up to print VOIDED across zero dollar checks. The check will remain as a non-voided zero dollar check Cash Management and will need to be reconciled with the correct statement date (statement date in same month or after check date of zero dollar check).

Resolution

Accounts Payable can have different check printing rules for each vendor in how it prints the stub details.

Change the Payment Stub Settings as follows:

  1. In Accounts Payable, select Setup, Vendors.
  2. Select the Vendor then press ENTER.
  3. Select the Payment Settings tab.
  4. Change the Payment Stub Settings to either Summarize on stub or Conditional. Note: See the Payment Stub Settings selection descriptions below.
  5. Click Save and then Close.

Payment Stub Settings selection descriptions:

  • List all invoices on stub

All the paid invoices print on the check stub. Overflow stubs print (voided checks) if there are more invoices than can fit on one stub based on the number of lines in the Body depth of the Check Stub format.

  • Summarize on stub

No invoices print on the check stub. The check stub prints the Summarized description message (set in AP Settings, Payment Settings) and the total amount paid. The default message is "See Attached" but you can change this. The list of invoices paid print on an "extended check stub" with the Payment Report. This option ensures only one check is used for the vendor.

Note: The Payment Report is saved as a print file when printing checks. Open the print file from File, Printouts. The "extended check stubs" will be on the first pages of the report followed by the print checks journal information. Print these "extended check stub" pages to send to the vendors with their checks.

  • Conditional

All the invoices print on a stub unless there are more invoices than can fit on one stub based on the number of lines in the Body depth of the Check Stub format (typically 13 or 14 lines). When there are more invoices than can fit on one stub, then it behaves like the Summarize on stub option above.

  • One invoice per payment

A separate check prints for each invoice.

Note: When this option is selected, the Payment Stub Settings selection still applies. Therefore, if Summarize on stub is selected, the stub will still print the Summarized description message.
