Article Content: Overview On How To Create and manage check layouts to define the format, alignment, and Appearance of printed checks

Check Layouts define the format and appearance of checks printed from the Accounts Payable module. This includes alignment, fonts, spacing, and the placement of company, vendor, and payment details on the check.

Step-By-Step:

Step 1: Navigate to System Setup → Account Payable Setup → Check Layouts.

This screen displays a list of all existing check layouts configured in the system. 

Step 2: General Tab

The General tab contains the main configuration fields:

  • Print Y/N – Indicates whether the field should be printed on the check.

  • Field Name – Name of the field displayed on the check.

  • X Position – Horizontal position of the field on the check.

  • Y Position – Vertical position of the field on the check.

  • Font Name – The font style used for the field.

  • Font Size – The size of the font used.

  • Bold Y/N – Indicates whether the field text should be bold. 

Step 3: Label Tab

The Label tab allows you to configure additional text labels that appear on the check, such as instructions, memo lines, or custom messages.

Step 4: Date Format Tab

The Date Format tab defines how dates appear on the check, allowing you to select formats such as MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, or custom patterns.

Step 5: Stub 1 & 2 Layout Tab

The Stub 1 Layout tab allows you to design the first check stub, including which fields and labels appear, their positions, and formatting.

The Stub 2 Layout tab allows you to design the second check stub, similarly controlling the fields, positions, and formatting for additional stub details.



Step 6: To edit an existing layout, select edit and update the fields and tabs as needed. Select it from the list, make changes, and click Save & Close.

This setup ensures all checks, including stubs, are printed accurately and consistently according to company standards.
