Cheque Bank Settings
Cheque Bank Settings defines the print layout for each of your banks. Cheque stationery differs between banks, so the position of the payee, amount and date has to be set per bank if printed cheques are to line up with the paper.
Where to find it
Go to Sales > Settings > Cheque Bank Settings.
What it holds
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Bank Account | Which of your accounts the format belongs to. |
| Bank Cheque receipt format | The layout used when printing a cheque on that bank's stationery. |
Test on a photocopy of a real cheque before printing on the stationery itself. Cheque paper is numbered and controlled — a misaligned test run does not just waste paper, it burns cheque numbers you then have to account for.
One format per bank
Set a format for every bank you write cheques from. A bank with no format falls back to a default that almost certainly does not match its stationery, and the misalignment is only discovered at the printer.
