Validating Sequence of Check Numbers

Post by wmorgenstern »

I think this is probably also for the Wishlist, but I am not sure if other people had the same problem.
I was doing bank reconciliation in Powerchurch 9 with the paper statement. And I noticed that in October, when I printed our payroll checks, I used the same check number twice. The banks won't have a problem, as our checks are already printed with check numbers.
When I do payroll, I print each check by itself. I use the Manual Check option in the Payroll Module.

So Powerchurch had the same check number in twice, to two different people, with different amounts.
The only way I thought, would be to fix the situation by voiding the wrong check in the Payroll Module, and then entering it again (but not printing it) into the Payroll Module.
Was that the right way to do it?

Now, my suggestion for a maintenance release (or if not earlier, the next version update).
Could Powerchurch do some sort of validation on check numbers? (This would apply for Payroll Module, and Accounts Payable Module).
I am printing now Check Number 25666 for Person A in Payroll Module,
and when I want to print Check Number 25666 for Person B, Powerchurch should stop me right there.
The same goes for Accounts Payable, and also Manual Checks in A/P.
I am not sure if this is possible?

Thanks
