Auto Stubs

One of the payment types in CDM+ is Auto-Draw. When making auto-draw payments, you can generate a printout for your records or to be sent to the payee. Auto-draw stubs are created using the check layout features. On the Write Check window you will see which auto-draw stub option is selected and can change it if necessary.

Reprinting Checks

If you have posted these entries, you cannot reprint a check from the Write Checks window.  If it is posted, you will need to reprint the check from the Ledger Entry Records window

1. If you need to reprint a check or checks, open the Write Checks window and select Paid Payments from the Show drop list.

   

2. Check the box next to the check or checks you need to re-print.

   

3. Click the Mark Unpaid button in the bottom right-hand corner.

   

4. CDM+ Accounting will ask if you want to create a voided entry in the ledger when you mark checks to be reprinted. Click Yes to create an entry in the ledger with the assigned check number marked Void (for instance, if the check number in question was destroyed by the printer). Click No if you are able to reprint the check on the check number in question (for instance, if your printer mistakenly printed on plain paper and you still have the blank check number in question).

   

5. Click the Write Checks button in the bottom right-hand corner.
