Accounts Payable - Check Reports
The Check Reports provide information on all check transactions recorded using
the Print Computer Check and Post Handwritten Check functions. If the Bank
Reconciliation module is activated, you can use these reports to facilitate
bank reconciliation.
Each of the Check Reports is especially designed to provide several options so
you can narrow down data to the specific information needed. Read the
information below to get a closer look at each of the Check Reports available
in AccountMate.
Check Register Report
The Check Register Report provides information on all checks issued and
recorded in the Accounts Payable module. You can use this report to account for
all the checks drawn from a bank account and the invoices for which these
checks are paid.
You can select to include computer checks, handwritten checks, electronic payments, and non-check payments in the
report. You can also opt to show the check details and multi-currencies. You
can further choose to include or exclude voided transactions.

On-Hold Checks Report
The On-Hold Checks Report provides information on checks that are put on-hold
(printed but not yet released to vendors). In AccountMate you can put a check
on hold by marking the Hold this Check or Hold All Checks checkbox in the Post
Handwritten Check or Print Computer Check function. This report helps you
verify whether your checking account has sufficient funds to cover the checks
for release.
You can opt to include non-check payments and to show multi-currencies in the
report.

Check Distribution Report
The Check Distribution Report provides information on how much of a check
amount is paid to a particular invoice or invoices. This report is useful in
reviewing the invoices for which the checks are issued and the GL Account IDs
to which the check payments are posted.
You can select to include the non-check payments in the report. You may also
opt to show in the report the system-generated journal entries associated with
the check, the purchase order numbers associated with the AP invoices, and
multi-currency information.

Electronic Payment Report
Electronic funds transfer provides a safer, secure, efficient, and
less-expensive-than-paper method of payment to your vendors. AccountMate
supports the processing of vendor electronic payments via an online payment
system.
Generate the Electronic Payment Report to obtain detailed information on the
amounts paid by check and paid by direct deposit via ACH (Automated Clearing
House). This report is most useful in tracking the remittance invoice and AP
checks. You can also use this report as reference when you reconcile bank
accounts and book balances. You have the option to include in the report the
voided electronic payments.

Factor Payment Report
The Factor Payment Report provides information on checks issued to factors. In
business a factor is someone who acts for another. In AccountMate checks are
automatically issued to a factor when the vendor record ? Factor to (Pay To)
field contains a valid vendor number. This report is especially useful when
reviewing checks issued to factors or made payable to factors.
You can select to include non-check payments and to show multi-currencies in
this report.

Voided Check Report
The Voided Check Report provides information on checks voided using the Void
Check function. You can use this report and the Check Register Report to assess
the completeness of the checks recorded in AccountMate. You can also verify
whether the checks listed in this report match the actual voided checks in your
possession.
When generating this report, you can select to include computer-printed checks,
handwritten checks, electronic payments and/or non-check payments. You may opt
to show the replacement check numbers and multi-currencies in the report.

Outstanding Check Report
The Outstanding Check Report provides information on outstanding checks, which
are yet to be presented at the payee bank for encashment or, if presented,
still in the bank’s check clearing cycle. This report is helpful in reviewing
the check status, specifically for those checks that have been printed and
released, but not yet recorded as "Cancelled" in AccountMate. You can refer to
this report for the outstanding check information to facilitate reconciliation
of bank statements against AccountMate records (book balance).
You can select to include in this report the non-check payments and/or
electronic payments. You can also opt to show multi-currencies.

your bank account and have been “cancelled” by the bank. This report is

that are marked as "Cancelled" in AccountMate. You can use this report to
facilitate reconciliation of bank statements against AccountMate records (book
balance), specifically the cancelled checks.
