Hi -
Does anyone know how to expand the number of characters on checks with GP 2010? There have been numerous instances in which payees names are cut off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

thanks!
Or if they don't want to grant you access (this is alot of times considered an administrative task) maybe you can have them make the change.
If it's grayed out then your user must not have security to it. You may need to request access from your administrator or partner depending on how things are set up at your business.
Thanks Matt. I apparently don't have access to Reports Writer as it is grayed out when I follow those instructions but thank you for your assistance.
This would be done through the Report Writer tool (Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Customize >> Report Writer. If you are not familiar with Report Writer it can be a little overwhelming but extending the payee name is a fairly straightforward task.
Click OK on the first pop-up and then click on Reports on the toolbar. If the check format has already been modified it would be listed in the Modified reports on the right-hand side. If not, you'd need to scroll through the list of reports on the left-hand side and find your check format and click Insert. Then highlight the modified report and click Open. When the new window opens up, click Layout. You should then see your check format. You'll need to find the Vendor Check Name field on the layout, select it and then just extend the field further to the right. Then close out of the layout and it will prompt you to save it.
If it was previously modified then your security is probably already pointing to the modified version of the report. If not, then you'd need to update this through Administration >> Setup >> System >> Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports. Most likely you are using the DEFAULTUSER ID here so select that then under Type choose Report and Series choose Purchasing. Wait for it to populate. Then you'll see your check format listed and you'll need to switch that from Microsoft Dynamics GP to Microsoft Dynamics GP (Modified).
Hope that helps!
