Processing Check Payments with Electronic Signatures

Electronic Signatures relies on Business Central’s Payment Journal feature to process payments and display electronic signatures. See Overview of Tasks to Manage Payments to Vendors – Business Central | Microsoft Docs.

You can issue electronic checks in Business Central. This method uses the payment journal to issue checks to vendors. You can also void checks and view check ledger entries.

The following procedure shows how to pay a vendor with a computer check by applying the payment to the relevant vendor invoice, printing the check, and then posting the payment as paid. This results in positive vendor ledger entries, applied to negative bank ledger entries, and physical checks for processing in the bank.

*Your printer must be correctly set up with the check forms, and you must define which check layout to use. For more information, see Selecting Mekorma Check Formats. Alternatively, you can send the check as a PDF file, for example.

With Business Central, check stubs are limited to 10 invoices per page. If a check applies to more than 10 invoices, Business Central prints remittance-only pages until it expends all the invoices. The check portion of each page will contain the word VOID. Business Central prints the actual check portion on the final page.
