Check Printing Not Aligning Correctly

Hello Everyone,

I was trying to get a trial balance so I went to GP > Tools > Setup > Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports. I was able to get trial balance after I reset some things, but now my checks are printing differently, that is the format is different. It doesn't have the address of the maker (us) and I believe it was also reset in the screen that gave me trial balance back.

Please help!

Lost,

GP > Tools > Setup > System > Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports controls the security/access for all Modified Reports and Windows. There are Trial Balance Reports in three Modules (Financial, Purchasing and Sales). The only reason to go to the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports window is if you are looking to enable or disable customizations to one of these trial balance reports. By going here to "reset some things" you may have inadvertently disabled all of your report customizations.

If you have a custom check format and you entered the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports window (image below) and then selected "Revert to Default" you could have effectively removed all users access to the custom check format in error. GP never overwrites the default report; in this case, check format, so it would have reverted back to the original format, discarding any changes made by users/consultants.

To fix this, you would need to go back in, browse down to the appropriate check format hit the plus sign to the left of the format, and select the Modified version of the report. Your checks should print correctly after you make this change.

Thank you Harry Lee,

That is exactly what I needed to do. Although I didn't realize that because I didn't have check writing that I would need to go to a person with check writing and perform the fix on their profile. I then created an alternative to USERDEFAULT to myself so I would not do that again! I now have reports and the check writer's have checks.

Thank you again,
