Post a Manual Check

1. To log a manual check in the system, from the home screen in Business Central, select “+ Post Payments” from the Actions menu 




 

2. Click on the name of the desired journal batch (the account from which the check(s) should be written) 




 

3. Select “Suggest Vendor Payments” 

4. Suggest Vendor Payments filter pane:

• In the “Last Payment Date” enter the latest due date (estimated payment date for grants) you want to include in your payment batch 
• Enter the “Posting Date” you want to use for these payments 
• Enter any other filter you wish to use, then click OK 

5. If necessary, remove any payment lines you do not wish to process at this time (Select the line, then select the vertical dots and choose “Delete Line”) 
 

6. Enter/confirm the following information: 

• Posting Date: Date on the check/Date of Payment
• Bank Payment Type: Manual Check
• Document No.: The check number or reference number for the non-check payment 

Note: Document No. must be unique for Manual Checks and will be validated against the check ledger. Two payment journal lines cannot use the same Document No when marked as Manual Checks. If a single Manual Check should encompass multiple payments in the batch, users can alias the Document No. For example, for check # 1023, Document No values could be: 1023, 1023-2, 1023-3, etc.

6. After you’ve confirmed the information entered is correct, the final step for manual checks is “Post” (or “Post and Print” if you want a report of the payment run).
