You can create checks and post the amounts directly to the ledger accounts without posting the amount to a vendor account first. This is useful when printing checks in the following situations:

• For cash on delivery (COD) items that are delivered and there is not a current invoice for the item or the supplier has not been set up in the system as a vendor. You would create a check when the items are delivered.

• For payment to one-time suppliers.

• For payment to suppliers or vendors who do not accept credit cards.

• For payment from one bank account to another, such as a funds transfer or bank loan payment.
