While setting up the configuration to generate payment to the vendor via checks, I am unable to create any checks. For testing I am using the Payment Journal in the purchase ledger and the generate payment button in functions is greyed. Also, the post button is greyed and I am unable to post. There is just one workflow approval, which I don't think should be affecting the generation of cheque payments.
I have set up methods of payment against the bank through which the payment is going to be made, however the issue still persists.
Anyone with a solution to clear this, and also step by step procedure to set up checks to make payments. Is there a way I can incorporate printing on bank checks?
Also, will the same apply to receiving payments from customers?
Thanks.

HI
Please check if you have
* Method of payment filled in the payment journal. The method of payment should have Export format for Check attached to it.
* Payment status field in the journal
Hi
Thank you for sharing this.
I have tried doing the same steps as mentioned, however I haven't been able to generate cheques.
The Post and Generate Payment are still Greyed. There is no blocking and also the workflow seems alright - but haven't been able to generate cheque yet.
Is there any particular fundamental aspect missing?
Thanks
hi ,
To print check make sure you have done the following setup:
1. Cash and Bank management parameters > General > Check Setup > tick the Allow checks for bank and ledger accounts check box
2. Select the bank from which you want to pay to the vendor > go to set up tab on the action pane > Click on check under layout option on action pane > select check number method as Fixed
3. Under the Management Payment tab on action pane select checks and create the check number
4. when you click on Generate Payment button, then select the bank account for which you have done the above setup
If the generate payment button is grayed then possibly you have don't have rights to do so probably it has workflow attach to it. or go to the payment journal > new journal > blocking tab > make sure none of the field is checked
Please update us too if you have resolved the problem.
