How do I set up batch checks?

Batch checks (or a check batch) is a group of checks that are processed, printed, or recorded together as a single unit. Batching checks is a way to streamline check processing. 

Why are batch checks used?

• Efficiency. Instead of entering or printing checks one at a time, you can process multiple checks at once. 

• Grouped recordkeeping. All checks in a batch are grouped under a common batch ID or number, making it easier to reprint, review, audit, or reverse if needed. 

• Control and review. You can review all checks in a batch before finalizing or printing. This adds a layer of control to prevent errors. 

• Audit trail. Batches provide traceability. You can see when a batch was created, who processed it, what checks were included, and the total dollar amount. 

• Posting to the general ledger. Check batches are posted to the general ledger as a group, allowing easier reconciliation and reporting. 

 

Setting up batch checks

1. Open Connect Check on Demand > Organization > Organization.

2. Remove the checkmark from the Require a Check Number checkbox.

 

3. Click Save  (CTRL+S).

The default setting is set up for batch-printing checks.
