Print
Modified on: Wed, 6 Oct, 2021 at 1:55 PM
What this Process Does
- Zeros check numbers when set incorrectly and/or if checks are needing to be ruined.
Requirements
- Record Ruined Checks – If checks have been printed and check numbers need to be reassigned, the Record Ruined Checks process (found in the Bank Rec mudule) should be run for the checks that were ruined due to having incorrect numbers.
- Distributed, Cleared and/or Bank Rec Updated – If checks have been distributed, cleared and/or updated to the Bank Reconciliation module, the undo processes must be run first before check numbers can be unassigned.
