Check Face Layout

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Kim Ziemke 150

I've used GP Dynamics for many years, but have only begun using version 10.0.  How do I make a change to the check face?  It used to be in the Check Maintenance, but I don't find it there.  Thanks for your help.

    Hi Kim.

    Not exactly sure about your question, but if you are trying to change the layout or content of what prints on the check you will need to use the Reportwriter tool in the Customizations tools and change the form for the check layout you are using. (Check with stub on top or top and bottom) Easiest way to do this is to print a check to screen using Fabrikam and click the modify button.

    With V10 you will need to goto the security for modifiied forms and reports in the Administration pane and give access to the modified report.

    If you are looking to change bank info in Financial - Cards you have the checkbook and under Administration - Company you have the bank info.

    Hope this helps

    Thank you for your response, however, I am actually looking to change the location of what prints on the checks.  I need to move some things around...ie: move the date & # amount up, the written amount down & place asterisks between the written amount and the vendor name/address.  In older versions of Dynamics, I would go to the checkbook maintenance which would allow me to get to the "check face."  I've tried that and I don't see the check face there anywhere.  Do you know how to do this?  Thanks....

    Kim,

    Are you sure that was in GP and not a 3rd party checkwriting application?  I know Mekorma has a pretty easy to use interface for making mods to the check but for as long as I can remember, standard GP checks have been Report Writer-based.

    It's been a couple of years, but that would make sense.  We did use Mekorma at that company.  I will research Report Writer to see if this is what I'm looking for.  Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi Kim,

    There a number of preformatted Cheque Layouts that fit to standard US Check stationery. Little or no modification to the layout is required. If you are starting to do automatic cheques for the first time, then perhaps you can enquire if your bank provides a standard layout?

    Otherwise you need to modify the cheque report layout as described above. This can sometimes be a bit finicky when it comes to page lengths etc. Remember to test with many multiples of cheques - with a long list of invoices on the remittances. You don't need to use the actual cheque stationery for testing...but you do need to test with the same paper size, on the same printer etc.

    Best regards,
