Accts. Pay. question

I don't print computer checks -- handwrite them all. I am entering Dec. invoices (entered balances through Nov.) so I can be ready for Jan 1. I used the AP module to enter the invoices I paid. However, the only way I can find to print the checks is by computer (I would do it just to get up to speed but I don't really want to waste the paper to print "checks"). I know I can do it manually but it appears that if I do them manually that is just a repeat of the steps I used to enter the invoices into AP. What is the suggested way to "pay bills" when you handwrite them all? Thanks!

If I understand your question, using manual checks under the accounts payable selection should solve your problem.

I think you understood -- I was kind of vague. I guess what I was saying was if I "maintain open invoices" for each invoice and then have to write a manual check it appeared I was duplicating my work. I just need to use "Maintain manual checks" and forget the open invoices and that should cover me. Thanks!

Yes, Maintain Open Invoices is to set up checks you want to print. If you only need to account for handwritten checks, Maintain Manual Checks is the way to go.

Thanks for the confirmation. That's what I will do!
