Print Checks
 
If user receives the following message after depressing the Print Check button:
 
 
 
This message is displayed when the check that the system is attempting to print would end up being for a negative value.  One possible reason would be that the Remit To information between the Invoice and Debit Memo's selected on the Check Batch are different, or blank.  Due to this the system would want to create two separate checks, and that could place the Debit Memo on a check by itself. We can not allow checks for negative value.  So we suggest that you make sure that all of your Remit To information is properly populated within the Supplier Information module.   However, there is a work around if you need to create a check for an Invoice and Debit Memo that have different or Blank Remit To Information, you may process the records through the Check Maintenance module, Record & Print a Check .   If the "Remit to Address" printing on the check is different then expected or balnk refer to  Article #3342 for further detail.

Editing a Automatic Bank Deduction

 

You may only make a change to an un-saved Automated Bank Deduction.  If it’s been saved, you are able to edit the Note information only.  The reason for this is that these records are the source for the automatic deductions frm the bank account and if we did allow any of the items to be changed user would have no audit trail.  (For example if you have an automatic deduction from bank account for payment of an auto loan of $500 on the 2nd of each month and system allowed you to change the amount from $500 to $400 for an office equipment loan in July, you would have no audit trail back for the $500 auto loan).  So instead of editing a record, the user may change the status to Closed and then add a new automatic bank deduction with the desired features.  For further information see Article #2328.
