Remittance Cheque Numbers
Remittance Cheque Numbers increment each time the Printer output is processed. This is relevant to Remittance Cheques throughout the system, and is configured in System Control Options - Document tab. The last cheque number is remembered by the system and displayed in the Remittances Cheques window.
When printing remittances with Cheque, if you choose to reprint the remittances before posting, the same cheque numbers are used: this gives you the opportunity to print copies on plain paper as many times as required.
If your stationery jams in the printer when printing Remittances with Cheque and the remittances are spoiled, you should choose not to reprint and not to update. You should select to cancel the update. This will ensure that the cheque numbers are incremented before you try to reprint the cheques.
Process
If you print Remittance with Cheque to Printer and select 'Do you want to print again: Yes', there is no file output available - only printer output.
If you cancel the output window, the cheque number increments because the payment has not been updated to the ledger and the assumption is that the cheque is not required/spoiled.
If you then print again (this time to File), you can do this as many times as required because the cheque number does not increment.
Examples:
Example 1:
Print Remittance with Cheque to Printer (cheque number 1)
Remittance with Cheque is spoiled
Say 'Yes' to 'Print again'
Print to printer (cheque number 2)
Say 'No' to 'Print again?'
Payment updated (cheque number 2 is used)
Example 2:
Print Remittance with Cheque to Printer (cheque number 1)
Remittance with Cheque is spoiled
Say 'No' to 'Print again'
Print to File (cheque number 1 is used. This can be done as many times as required without the cheque incrementing)
Say 'Yes' to 'Print again'
Print to Printer (cheque number 2)
Say 'No' to 'Print again?'
Payment updated (cheque number 2 is used)
