Accounts Payable - Check Handling Codes

Pgm: CHQHAND – Check Handling Codes; standard Treeview path: Accounts Payable > Setup > Global Tables > Check Handling Codes

The Check Handling Code Maintenance screen can be used if there are multiple company names and addresses for one company. These codes can be applied to vouchers so that when their checks are printed, the company names and addresses are derived from the check handling codes instead of the company record.

This feature is useful if the head-office prints all checks, but wants the payee to think that a local branch office produced the check.

Each voucher can be associated with a check handling code, and as checks are printed, a separate check will be produced for each set of vouchers under each check handling code.

Code, Name

Enter an identifying code for the check handling code and its name.

Company Name, Address Fields

Enter the name of the company and the address to be associated with the check handling code. This name and address will be used on the check instead of the name and address in the company record associated with the vouchers. The address lines should include number, street, and apartment or suite number (or PO box if mail is not delivered to the street address).

File Path

To associate a company logo with this address, enter the path and file name in this field. This logo will be used when printing AP checks using this check handling code.
