Setup: Check Formats

Check formats are used to specify the type of pre-printed checks to be used. They are found in Setup Payroll Postings & Paychecks and Setup Accounts Payable screens. Check formats are available for laser and dot matrix printers.

For Payroll Checks, an M after the format number means that multiple pay rates are printed on the check stub. The physical check prints the same, regardless of whether the number ends with the letter ‘M'. For example: 09900M and 9000 both print on the same check form, but they print different information.
