How do I process checks returned in the bank statement in special jackets?

This may be caused by the printer, misallignment of checks, or some unrepeatable problem like power surges. If very few checks are returned you shouldn't worry about it. If many checks are returned then monitor the printer environment to ensure it is cool, out of sunlight, and free from dust and jostling by people. If no MICR number was printed on the checks you need to review the MICR number in the Bank Account Maintenance process to ensure proper MICR symbols were updated at original set up time.

How do I print a single check for payments to a vendor by multiple clients?

This is accomplished by entering a master client# into the Bank Account Maintenance process. This master client# is the one whose name and address appear on the check.

Where does the "Running Bank Balance" come from on the Bank Reconciliation?

The "Running Bank Balance" is defined as the sum of all client balances within the account (sum of field 18 in the bank account record), adjusted by bank account transactions that occured subsequent to the bank reconciliation being worked on. The idea behind this calculation is to use an audit technique to ensure the bank book totals match up with the running totals from the bank account.

The financial period the transaction occured in must be greater than the financial period of the "reconcile thru" transaction# entered in the previous screen. (If an empty value is entered in the "reconcile thru" field then the comparitive financial period is the current G/L financial period).

What happens when a bank account is deleted?

Deleting a bank account will remove all monthly transaction listings for the bank. You will no longer have access to the Bank Statement reports. The corresponding transactions to AP (checks), TR (deposits), and GL are not removed when the bank is deleted.

Bank accounts cannot be deleted if there is any future activity (unpaid AP invoices, recurring AP invoices, or recurring GL transactions) referencing this bank account. A minimum security level of 5 is required to delete a bank account.
