Pay a supplier bill with a check
Paying a supplier with a check is done in three steps:
- registering a payment
- printing checks in batch for all registered payments
- reconciling bank statements
Register a payment by check
To register a payment, open any supplier bill from the menu {menuselection}Purchases --> Vendor Bills.
Once the supplier bill is validated, you can register a payment. Set the {guilabel}Payment Method
to {guilabel}Checks and validate the payment.

number of checks registered. By clicking on {guilabel}Checks to print you have got the possibility
to print the reconciled checks.
To print all checks in batch, select all payments from the list view and click on {guilabel}Print.
