Correcting Check List Check Numbers

[Jeffry Wisnia]

Every once in a while while printing checks, especially in the kind of humid weather we're having now, the printer we use with PayWindow will pull two checks from its supply bin at once. The check being printed is OK, but there is an unprinted one outputed under it and the following checks on the Check List are numbered "off" by one.

Is there any way to manually correct the check numbers stored in the computer so I can print a list with the correct numbers for each check, or when this happens should I just keep correcting the printed list with White-Out and a pen?

The check number is stored in the saved payroll transaction when you print the checks. Editing those stored payroll transactions are a problem as when you open a transaction to edit, the "default" information is pulled in. So if you are aware of this and can edit and insure everything matches what you did the first time, you can edit the check number before saving the transactions.

Or if you print your checks by employee number order, you can in the check printing Dialog set the start number of the employee which got the number after the skipped check and the last employees ID as the end with and then enter the number to start with and use that option to "Don't print checks" and click the Print Now button to write the check numbers in that range of employees.

Then print the check register.

Personally, I keep my office at 77 degrees with the air conditioner as I hate humid air. :-)
