Checks printing out of order
When you select bills to pay, or expense reports to reimburse, the payments are sent to the Print checks page for printing and confirmation. By default, checks print in the order in which they are listed on the Print checks page, which might not be based on their payment date.
Solution: Sort checks by payment date
- On the Print checks page, select the Check style, then select the Checking account.
- Select More filters.
- Select Add or edit under the Sort by option.
- Add Date to the Selected items window.
- Select Done.
- Select Apply filters.
Example
Say you selected to pay a bill with a payment date of October 15, 2022. You then select another payment with a date of September 30, 2022. When you go to the Print checks page, the bill with a payment date of October 15 will be listed before the one for September 30, which means it will also print before the one for September 30, throwing off the check printing order.
To print the check for September 30, 2022 first, you can either:
- Manually select to print the check for September 30, 2022 and select Print. Then, select the check for October 15, 2022 and select Print for that payment.
OR
- Sort checks by date. In the More filters section of the Print checks page, select to Sort by Payment date. Select Apply filters, then select all checks to print.
