Cheques

Track incoming cheques from customers and outgoing cheques to suppliers through to clearing or return, plus cheque books and their numbers.

Common workflows

1

Deposit an incoming cheque

Select it → "Deposit" into the bank.
2

Clear or bounce

When the bank statement arrives, mark the cheque cleared or bounced (a bounce puts the debt back on the customer).
3

Receive or issue a cheque from any entry point

From the invoice, a customer collection, a supplier payment, project receipts or the cash screen — all create the cheque here, and cancelling it reverses everything.

Cheques due this week

The due cheques screen, with a bell alert on the day.

"Cheque number already used"
Each number in a book is used once.
"Number cancelled or missing"
Record that number as spoiled — use the next one.
"Status change not allowed"
For example, a cheque cannot clear before it is deposited, and a cleared cheque's date cannot be changed.
