We recently performed an update to our production systems. Before the update our checks were printing base on the Vendor Name instead of the check number. After the update they started printing by check number. I've looked around and I can't seem to find how to get our checks to print by Vendor Name.
During the Generate Payment I tried to do sorting but the sorting button is greyed out. Where do I find the settings for check printing order?
Thanks!
I believe I have the same issue as BenBurge. Previously, I would sort my outstanding invoice alphabetically before selecting which invoices to print a check for, and this would pull over to the payment journal alphabetically and also print the checks that way. The past two weeks, even though I sort before selecting the invoices to pay, they pull over to the payment journal in Posted Purchase Invoice Number order (oldest first), not alphabetically. Even if I sort the payment journal alphabetically before printing the check, the checks still pull by oldest Posted Purchase Invoice Number, not alphabetically. Very frustrating. A fix for this would be wonderful
Hi BenBurge,
Can you please provide screenshots of how it is working in your environment or describe what order it put the checks on the vendors? In my test, when generating the payment, it went by vendor name alphabetical order when assigning check numbers. I created a payment for vendor Lande and vendor Acme. It put the 1st check number (check 796) on Acme and 2nd check number on Lande (check 797).
When printing it, it printed Acme 1st and Lande 2nd. I am curious as to how it is assigning the check numbers at the time of payment generation.
Thanks,
Cody
