Cheque Remittance

Here you can customise the default cheque template, as follows:

1. From the System records menu choose System setup and click the Cheque Remittance tab.
   
   

2. Click Edit .

3. From the Template drop-down, choose the required format (2 Part or 3 Part).

4. From the Long value format drop-down, choose how the amount should be displayed on the cheque.
   In general, 2 Part cheques show the amount in numeric Columns, whereas 3 Part cheques show the amount in Text.

5. If required, you can adjust the text in the coloured boxes in the cheque layout, by altering the Vertical offset (moves it up(-ve) or down(+ve)) and Horizontal offset (moves it left(-ve) or right(+ve)).
   These areas are colour-coded; the sample on the right shows where each area is usually situated.
   
   At any point you can click Print sample to check the layout. This generates a report view that you can inspect, or you can print out a test cheque.

6. When you have finished making changes to the layout, click Save.
   The modified template becomes the default whenever you print a cheque (see Print payments).

Sometimes when printing a PDF the scale setting might change from Fit to printable area to Fit to paper, ensure that it is set to Fit to printable area in the Scale section.

Top Tip

One of the easiest ways to do this it to start by printing a sample page then hold it over the cheque against a bright light to see how far you need to move the text on the cheque. Once you have this you can adjust the areas to move them up/down, left/right. When you first try this try moving them 10 or 20 points at a time. Once you have made your first adjustment, repeat the process to fine tune the adjustments.
