When cheques are used as payment.
Question asked by David Heath 10 years ago
Is it possible to pull off a report or identify by date invoices that are paid by cheque?
Thank you
Accounting 
If I was paying a cheque into the bank:
- I would write on the stub in my paying in book who the chq was from so there's a manual record if need.
- I would mark the relevant sales invoices as paid.
- I would then import my bank statement into Clear Books (weekly/monthly depending on requirements) and reconcile it - if there's a cheque missing you'll soon know about it as the bank won't balance.
Best answerHi David
I'm 99% sure this isn't possible. Even when you do a full transaction report there's no heading for payment method and I certainly can't find a report specifically for it.
Another reason why, in my opinion, the payment method box should come with a toggle feature to switch it off - it's all but useless and does nothing but confuse people the majority of the time.
Thank you for your reply.
Can I ask how people keep track of cheques when they are being paid into their bank accounts through a drop box in the bank?
Surely I don't need to keep a separate spreadsheet of them so that we can insure that they have been correctly credited by the bank?
