Computer Check Run limited to specific vendors

There may be times that you want to run computer checks for only a few vendors. A good way to accomplish this quickly and easily is to create a type for these vendors.

1) Create a type

Create a type in Accounts Payable, file maintenance, types.

2) Enter the type into the vendor file

Once you have created this type, go to file maintenance, vendors and enter the type you created into the type box for the appropriate vendors.

3) Select this type in your computer check run

Go to Accounts Payable, computer check run. To begin your check run go to the cash requirements box. Fill in the first page as you normally would. Press f2. You will see the warning that asks you if you wish to continue. Select yes. You will now see the report options screen. You will now use the “select” button to enter the type you are selecting for this check run. Run your report and you will see the vendors you have selected. Continue your check run as you normally do. You should see on your edit list that you are only printing checks for vendors that are the designated type.
