Cheques Printing

The instructions in this article relate to Cheques Printing. The icon may be located on Manage your StrataMax Desktop or found using the StrataMax Search.

Cheques Printing icon is to be used when a Cheque Payment has been created either via Creditor Invoices or Payment Entry and the Creditor account has a Payment Method set to 'Cheque'.  Cheques can be printed globally or for one property, locally. Once the Payments stage has been completed to create the payments, the Cheque can be printed onto Cheque paper and posted or delivered to the Creditor as required.
