General Ledger - Checkbooks
Checkbooks
Use this component to setup bank checking account(s). Any number of accounts may be entered. Bank accounts setup in other modules (payroll or accounts payable) will be on the List tab, and no other action is necessary. One bank account may be used for accounts payable, payroll, and GL. Each bank account activity is viewed either through the Check Register from the Print Reports menu, or by general ledger reports listing entries for the GL account assigned to the checkbook.
