Hi All,

I have a clarification with regards to the Supplier Check Templates and would like to know the logic behind printing of 10 invoices per remittance if the Check Template ID is defined as LASER and 14 invoices when it is defined as NORMAL.

 

 

Also observed that, when a cheque is printed with the Template ID Laser, it generates 2 result keys if more than 10 invoices are  matched with a check.

Example: Matching of 16 invoices to a check.

 

Appreciate your support.

Best Regards

Razan

Hi, 

This has been a limitation in the Laser check layout for many years, probably well over 20 years. 

I will say, that when the value was user define able it was nearly impossible to get the report to align correctly check after check after check.  Different printers / printer drivers came into play as well.   Laser check is a more sophisticated layout with the 3 parts, top, middle and bottom. At that time, it was decided to lock that value at 10.    I wish it could be different, but the report is very difficult to change. 

By using the separate sheet as the overflow option, that separate report is on plain paper and has many many remittance items.  In using this option, we reduce the number of sheets of check stock sheets that are used. 

You will then have two reports when the number of remittance items are greater than 10.  You will have the check, then a separate report with the overflow.  Per your example, the 6 remittance items (16-10) will show on the separate report. 

Best regards, 

Thomas

Hi @Thomas Peterson 

We are using check stock that already has sequential check numbers. Now, in your scenario where the overflow lines are printed on separately, this separate print will still have the same check no. Let’s say we are doing batch printing and the first check has more than 10 lines, then the check no “1” is printed on our stock which also has check no as 1 and the overflow lines are printed on our second check which has check no 2 and the IFS check no 2 is printed on our check no 3. This way, there will be a mismatch of our check nos and IFS check nos.

So, is there a way, we can set the separate print to consume the next check no instead of the same check no?

 

Thanks in advance!

Using separate as the option, for the overflow, it prints on plain paper.  You don’t burn pre-printed forms. 

If you use void, it consumes the pre-printed forms and prints VOID on the check stock. 

To visually see how IFS works, is very easy, take a supplier invoice, set it as recurring to create N copies. For example, create 20 recurring invoices - 1 per day. Then pay the invoices.  Void the check and then change the settings and pay the invoices again. It only takes a few minutes to test this.
