GL: Check Register and Reconciliation

Overview

The Check Register is used to view all disbursements, transfers, and deposits for all bank accounts. It is also the gateway to performing bank reconciliations. Once you select an account, you can continue into the Bank Reconciliation program.

Standard grid functionality applies to this screen. For information on grid functionality see Understanding Grids and Using the Filter Row Feature.

The Check Register report can be generated from Payroll Reports and the Accounts Payable Reports.
