Checks

Depending on the design of the checks you are using, the check layout can be simple, or very complex. A basic check layout doesn’t have a check stub, or has the check stub either above or below the check. A complex check layout has a check stub both above and below the check.

Check types

Microsoft Dynamics GP has separate check layouts for Payables Management and for Payroll. For Payables Management, the following table lists the check formats that are available, along with the corresponding report used for the check.

For Payroll, the following table lists the check formats that are available, along with the corresponding report used for the check.

Modifying check layouts

It’s likely that you will need to modify the check layout to work properly with your check stock. Keep the following in mind when modifying check layouts:

• Avoid editing the layout for any “Stub on Top and Bottom” check. The layout for these checks is hard-coded to the software, which prevents most modifications from working properly. You can make some cosmetic modifications to these check layouts, such as adding graphics or text.
• Consider modifying the “User-Defined” or “Other” check layouts. These reports are designed to be customized. For Payables Management checks, the User-Defined Check 1 report is a stub on top layout. The User-Defined Check 2 report is a stub on bottom layout.
• When modifying checks, don’t move fields from one section of a report to another. This can cause the checks to not print properly.
• Don’t remove fields from the check layout. When you’re modifying checks, use the Report Field Options window to set a field to be invisible, rather than removing the field from the report. Removing fields can prevent a check from printing properly.
