Check printing turns approved payment information into controlled printed output. The related printed-check screens help users confirm what was already printed and review prior check output.
Main purposeProduce check output in a controlled, reviewable way.
Important areasCheck selection, print action, check numbering, printed-check review, and recheck of prior output.
Business valueStronger payment control and clearer review of printed check history.
Where To Find It
Common Path: Banking > Print Check / Banking > Printed Checks
Users normally reach check printing from a payment workflow or from the dedicated banking check-printing area, then review prior output from Printed Checks.
Note: Always confirm the selected checkbook and next check number before final printing.
How It Works
The process usually starts after the payment record is ready. The user chooses the check or checks to print, confirms the numbering, completes the print action, and later reviews the result in printed-check history if required.
- Printing should happen only after the payment details are checked.
- Check numbering must be reviewed before final output.
- Printed-check history supports later review and audit.
