I may have misunderstood something about the ap/cheque writing. Please help me to understand this program.
I am attempting to utilize the AP function. My goal of course is to have the expenses in the correct month and the payment from the bank in the correct month. I am used to Quick books, where you can go in an partial pay an AP, I realize that with this program you cannot do that. So I am working around this.
I have a question about cheque writing. I do not use computer cheques and I pay online for a number of bills. I usually enter the invoice as "no" until I am ready to pay. Then I go back and choose "yes" on the invoice. Next I go to Generate computer check. I have to put in some # for a sequence starting point. It will be wrong, and then I have to go into maintain Computer cheques to re-enter the correct cheque or online transaction #. From this point I cannot reprint the cheque with the correct #. I print out the posting report to identify the correct txn. It is frustrating to have to print the cheque ( and a waste of paper) when the cheque number is not correct and I am not able to reprint after leaving cheque printing.
If I am doing something wrong please let me know. I don't have the newest version of Power Church. Maybe this works different in the newest version.

The best way for you to do this is to use the manual check feature rather than creating an invoice. The invoice is only needed if you are printing checks. If you use the manual check feature you can enter the same information but you do not need to waste any paper because there are no checks to print. This should be used whether you hand write a check or make an online payment. You will need to put a reference in the number field when you make the initial entry but you can go back and change it later provided you do not post it until you have this information.
