NOTE: Checks must have a Check Status of Printed or Manual to post. 

1. Back up your Payroll files.
2. From the Tasks menu, select Post Checks.
3. Verify that the Payroll Month listed is the same or later than the Check Date of the entries to be posted.
   Notes: 
   • If it is not the same month or later, close the month in payroll by going to Tasks, Close Month.
   • If the check date for a check in the transaction file being posted is in the current month, the check is posted and added to the month-, quarter-, and year-to-date totals for the employee. If the check date is for a prior month, the prior period totals are updated as appropriate.
4. If necessary, use conditions to limit the information that posts. See How do I post checks in Payroll using conditions? for more information.
5. Click Start. 
6. The task will begin to process and a PR Post Checks Journal will print.
   1. Verify that there are no errors listed.
   2. Review the posting report which may include General Ledger Recap, Job Cost Recap, Billing Recap, and Equipment Cost Recap sections.
