Print a cheque

On the Print cheques page, you can print cheques and cheque and supplier stubs. Before you print, preview the cheque to avoid printing incorrect information.

If you have more than 100 cheques to print, add payments to an offline cheque run to save time. You can print a payment copy of cheques that have already been printed and confirmed.

Before you begin

Make sure that your printer settings are set to print cheques at their actual size (without scaling) and the orientation is set to portrait.

If you're using blank cheque stock, use a printer equipped with MICR ink and follow MICR guidelines. If you're using preprinted cheque stock, learn how to set the next cheque number so that the correct information prints. You can also print a test cheque to preview what cheque number prints next.

Print a cheque

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Cheques > Print cheques.

  2. To view cheques for payment requests that you created, leave the Select cheque view option set to My cheques.

    Select All to view all cheques available for printing.

  3. Select either Preprinted cheques or Blank MICR cheques.

    This populates the field with accounts set up to print on the specified cheque stock.

    Before you start issuing cheques printed on blank stock, to prevent your bank rejecting your cheques contact your bank for specifications and send a test cheque. Learn more about printing guidelines.

  5. To narrow the list of cheques that appear, select More filters.

    Filter for payment requests created at the entity level by selecting Show entity level checks.

    Select Apply filters when you're done.

  6. For preprinted cheques, enter the Next cheque number of the next cheque in the printer to keep cheque stock in sequential order.
  7. In the Cheques to be printed and confirmed section, in the Print column, select the cheques to print.
  8. Select Cheque stub details or Supplier stub details to print the following information:

    • Details in the Pay to and Pay from fields on stubs.

      These fields only allow 55 characters total. Keep text brief to make sure the complete text appears.

    • Additional details like the account, department, and location for line items on stubs.
    • Memos entered on the AP supplier invoice on stubs.

    If you are only printing one cheque per page, stubs are automatically included. Learn more about printing extra information on cheques and cheque stubs.

  9. Enter a Cheque memo.

    This value appears on the cheque face, not on the cheque stub.

  10. Select Print at the top of the page.

    A pop-up window appears with a PDF of your cheques. If the PDF doesn't appear, make sure to allow pop ups in your browser.

    Is the cheque still not appearing to print?

  11. Review the PDF.

    If you see any errors, such as incorrect dates or amounts, close the pop-up and fix the cheques, then preview them again. Or, get help fixing cheque alignment.

  12. When you're ready to print the cheque, from the pop-up, select the printer icon.

    The cheque appears as Printed in Sage Intacct.

Next steps

After you print a cheque, review it for accuracy. If there are issues with an unconfirmed cheque, you can void it and print again. When you're sure the cheque is correct, confirm it to the General Ledger from the Print checks page. This marks the associated AP supplier invoice as Paid in Intacct.
