Default Checkbook ID in Payables Batch

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 55

The Checkbook ID I want to use as the Payables Batch default is entered in the Payables Setup Options screen. When I open a Payables Batch window, the Checkbook ID remains blank. What would prevent the default Checkbook ID assignment from taking effect?

    Hi Mark,

    I entered it once but they didn't consider it a 'bug'. You've inspired me to enter it again. I'll post the URL after I put it in. Perhaps I can enter it into the 'enhancements' section. If it's already there, I'll post that URL.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Leslie,

    That is good to know. My clients all hate this bug. Where can we vote on this to have it fixed?

    Hi,

    If you create the Payables Batch from the Select Checks, Edit Payables Check Batch or Edit Payables Check window, the Checkbook ID will not populate. It's been this way for a long time. It's a bug (I think) and it still isn't fixed in 2015. Now, if you open from other places, the Checkbook ID from Payables Setup should default in. Is this what you are experiencing?

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    You can't get it to default when you have multicurrency turned on. Once you turn on multicurrency, you lose the ability to default the checkbook. A work-around would be to create a macro. My macro is set to F2 and when it asks me if I want to create a new batch, it clicks yes, enters the checkbook and saves the batch window.

    I think the "Checkbook ID" field is not available in Payable Setup Option screen. The default Payable Batch Checkbook ID will be filled with the Checkbook ID of Payable Management  Setup (under the default section) screen.

    Hope this helps!!!

    You are on the right track, the default checkbook ID filled on the payables setup window should default when a new manual payment is created. If it is not working, you may try to fill in the Batch on the vendor maintenance window (Cards > Vendor > Options), fill in a specific check book id. Would the checkbook ID field remains as blank on the manual payment as well ?

    If it works out with you, just put it on the vendor class and roll down the changes to the vendors.

    Let us know how it goes with you,
