Create a check run

If you have a large number of checks to print, you can add them to a check run and print them together offline. First create the check run, then add payment requests to the check run. How you set up the check run determines how the checks for the payments in a run are processed.

1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Checks and select Add (circle) next to Check run.

2. For Title, briefly describe the check run. The title identifies the check run on the Check Run list and on the Add to check run filter page.

3. For Check stock, select what kind of paper you're using.

   • Blank check stock with MICR: you can print checks from more than one checking account.
   • Preprinted check stock: select a checking account that you've set up for preprinted check stock. Print checks from a single checking account, to keep preprinted check stock in order.

4. For Sort By, arrange your criteria in the right-hand list.

   • By default, checks are sorted by check number.
   • To add criteria, select an item in the left-hand list, then select the right-pointing arrow.
   • To remove criteria, select an item in the right-hand list, then select the left-pointing arrow.
   • To re-arrange criteria, select an item in the right-hand list, then select the up or down arrow.
5. From the Checks per page dropdown list, select how many checks to print per page. Select One to print your check with a vendor stub and a check stub. Or, select Three to use the entire paper space to print three checks per page and exclude printed vendor and check stubs.
6. If you selected to print one check per page and want to add details to the check, select Print Detailed check stub or Print detailed vendor stub. Check and vendor stub details include additional coding details (account, department, location) with your line items.

7. Select Save.

Next step: Add payment requests to a check run.
