HELP!! Description/memo field on check stub

[kzuley]

How do I get what is entered in the "description" field when you enter an invoice to print on the check stub...How do you do that?

And how do you change what prints in the "memo" field on the check?

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I haven't done it yet, but I think it just has to do with choosing the right form for printing checks.

What is displayed on the purchase journal in the description field does not print on the check. However what is displayed in the description field in the payment journal (CDJ) does print on the check. If you have posted a purchase journal with anything that shows up in the description field and later when you go to print the check, you still have description field appearing blank and you can fill in the details you need. That's what I have so far observed. Still learning !

If you choose one of the checks with the word "Detail" in the name, the description from the invoice will print on your check stub. But be careful using this option. If you have long AP invoices you could waste a lot of checks.

There 2 ways to get something to print in the memo field:
Anything that you enter in the "Account #" field in Maintain Vendors will print in the memo field of your Check.
If you print checks through Payments instead of Select For Payment, you will have the chance to enter a memo.

I really need to get the description from the invoice to appear on the check. How do i find a check that will let me do that? We are using perprinted peachtree type checks.

You may want to investigate the Accounts Payable Disbursement Check Form that contains the word "Detail" in the check form name. An example is AP MultiPurpose 2 Stub - Detail

We use preprinted checks that require us to use the check form AP Preprint. When i try to edit the form to get the detail to print that option is not available for some reason. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I did point you in the right direction. Edit the Multipurpose check to remove the pre-printed elements and save the modified form using a new unique name.
