Dimensions/Payment Journals/Printing Checks or EFT payments

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by TH-04061425-0 2
I recently posted that I was having problems with the dimensions on  my payment journals posting to the same dimensions.  I received a response to put my entries on two lines to get the proper dimensions, but I am trying to print a check so my two lines are one to the vendor and one to the bank account.  I have all of the lines filled in, but when I go to print a check, I receive the message that there is no data there.  
 
Any help with payment journals and printing a check or EFT would be appreciated.  
 
Thanks,

    Hi,

    When using Payment Journals, your typical setup should look like this:
     
    Account Type Account No. Amount Bal. Account Type Bal. Account No.
    Vendor V12345 1,000 Bank Account B001
     
    This is one line only, and BC automatically creates the balancing line in the background for the bank account. DO NOT manually add a second line for the bank — otherwise, it will create double postings or printing issues.

    1. Correct Way to Enter Dimensions
    To apply different dimensions (vendor vs. bank), you don’t need two lines — instead:
    • On the Payment Journal line, open the Dimensions window (Line → Dimensions)
    • Add the appropriate vendor-related dimensions there
    Then:
    • Go to the Bank Account Card → set default dimensions for the bank if needed (optional)
    • When the journal is posted, the system splits the dimensions correctly: the vendor line uses the line dimensions, and the bank line uses its default dimensions
    2.  "There is no data" When Printing Check
    This message appears when:
    • You manually entered both lines (vendor and bank) — which confuses the check printing logic
    • Or, the "Applies-to Doc. No.", "Payment Method", or "Check Printed" flags are not properly set
    To fix it:
    1. Keep only one line per vendor
      BC will auto-generate the bank side.
    2. Ensure “Applies-to Doc. No.” is filled
      • Use Process → Apply Entries to select the invoice to pay
    3. Set “Payment Method Code” = CHECK
      • Go to Line → choose/check the field Payment Method Code
      • Must be set to a method that is set to “Check” in Payment Methods
    4. Check the Bank Account settings
      • On the Bank Account Card, make sure:
        • Last Check No. is set
        • Check Printing Setup is complete
        • Bank is selected in the Bal. Account Type/No.
    5. Go to Report Selection – Bank
      • Search → Report Selection – Bank
      • Confirm that the correct Check Layout Report ID is selected for usage = "Check"

    If this helps, please mark it as Solved :)
