## **Printing a check**

[VIEW GUIDE IN FULL SCREEN](https://scribehow.com/embed-preview/Printing_a_check__xyB3R1dmReC_kgHlXZZhBw?as=video&size=flexible&voice=shimmer&scaleMode=contain)

[https://scribehow.com/embed-preview/Printing_a_check__xyB3R1dmReC_kgHlXZZhBw?as=video&size=flexible&voice=shimmer&scaleMode=contain](https://scribehow.com/embed-preview/Printing_a_check__xyB3R1dmReC_kgHlXZZhBw?as=video&size=flexible&voice=shimmer&scaleMode=contain)

You can find all created checks in the system under the **A/P Expenses** section, in the **Checks** tab. For a bill or expense to appear in the Checks list, you must select that option when processing the payment.

So, after you create a bill or expense, locate it in the **Expense** list, hover over the entry, and click the **Send payment** option.

A pop-up window will open where you will select the **Check** option as the **Payment type**. Next, you will choose the appropriate **Payment account**. By clicking the **Send payment** button, the check will appear on the **Checks** list.

The check status is now ***Ready for Print***. To print a check, hover over the desired entry in the list and click the **Print** button.

A dialog box will appear, prompting you to complete the required fields, such as the **Starting check number**, and to select either **Contact** or **Organization** under the **Charge to** option. Based on your selection, choose the corresponding contact or organization from the drop-down menu.

The **Attn** field is optional, and may be used to specify a particular recipient, if needed.

To ensure everything is correct before printing, click the **Print Preview** button. Once you've verified the information, click the **Print Check**button to complete the process.

After printing, take a moment to double-check that all details are accurate. If everything is in order, click the **Confirm Check Printed OK** button at the bottom-right of the pop-up window.

After confirming that action, the check’s status will be updated to ***Printed***.

If, for any reason, your check is invalid or lost, you can record this in the system. Simply hover over the check in the list and click the **Void** button.

The status of the check will then be changed to ***Voided***. Additionally, the system will create a copy of the check and set it to ***Ready for Print*** status, allowing you to issue the same check again if needed.
