If you use MICR and your MICR use settings are correct, the Payments order is set to something other than Vendor. The other Payments order selections will print multiple checks for a vendor if the invoices selected for payment are for different jobs or GL prefixes.

If you get multiple checks per vendor, verify the check printing order in AP Settings:

1. In Accounts Payable, from the File menu, select Company Settings, AP Settings, Orders.
2. Make note of the selection under Payments. If this is not set to Vendor and you want to combine multiple invoice distributions on one check regardless of the job or GL prefix, you may do the following:
   1. Have all users exit the software.
   2. Make a backup of this company data folder.
   3. In AP Settings, Orders, change the Payments order to Vendor.
   4. Click OK to exit Orders.
   5. Click OK to exit AP Settings. You will be prompted to upgrade the AP Master to make this change effective. Click OK to the message to proceed with the upgrade. At the Print Selection window, make your selections to print the journal or save to a print file, then click Start.
