Duplicate check numbers

Posted on by 550

Is there a setting in the system to no allow duplicate check numbers?

    UAT for me is a replica of same company database with same server. Both of these Databases are on same server and using same report dictionary. Upto day b4 yesterday everything was running fine. I had checked the Check stub today and I found that the Extra line which it Prints its a Document Amount of another Invoice of same Check batch.

    UAT = a test server I presume?

    Does the test server and the live server use the same report dictionary?

    If they do then the issue is in the data if they do not then the issue is on the report.

    The issue you describe does sound like a report issue not a data issue.

    Check links compares tables that should have like data and sets the data back to what GP thinks it should be (realizing that sometimes this results in GP deleting things always have a back up before you run check links).

    I'm thinking check links will not change anything regarding the issue you describe.  I'd start with the report dictionary, the modified reports and modified report security access.

    Hello Ian,

    I am using GP Check Stub at Bottom. At Bottom I have Put  Explanation where in Document Date Distribution reference, Vendor ID and Debit Amount is printed.Everything was fine till last month but yesterday when I post 800 invoices and I have to print 538 checks for a particular batch I found that at Check stub GP is printing another line with same Vendor ID but with different Document amount. I have tried this with UAT and at UAT it is working fine but on production it is mess. Will Checklink help me out? or what I should have to do?

    typically when the wrong cheque number is suggested to you by GP it means that for some reason that cheque number has not been used.

    At my office we have allow duplicates and change cheque number turned on as my a/p clerks keep putting the wrong cheques in the printer so have to start over with the same cheque numbers to maintain the preprinted MICR ink number synching up with the GP number.  Or one of them prints to screen then forgets to print to paper so has to rerun the cheques, again with the same number set.

    Thank you, no, I have not been getting blank check number, I have been getting wrong check numbers.  I have been typing it in manually each time, which allows for errors and duplicates.  I will try these settings thank you.

    The override check number option allows you to change the check number. If you uncheck that option you will not be able to change the check number. It will have no effect on getting the next check number. You should not be having a blank next check number appear. For this checkbook, have you entered a value for the next check number?

    Thank you Richard.  You are awesome and fast!

    What does the override check number do?

    Is that why I have to plug in my check number for every check run?

    Will it remember the next check number if I remove "override check number"?
