Welcome to

If you are using a CK-D7 style one write check you may know that it is called an Accounts Payable check. Accounts payable checks are different from other one write checks in that they work with both a disbursements type journal and a purchase journal as well as several accounts payable ledger cards. There are, in fact, at least seven different journals you can purchase to work with this system as well as four different ledgers. But the likelihood is that you are not even using this system to its full potential and only have the CK-D7 check style by default because years ago some grey haired old bookkeeper knew how to use it to run your business. If this is the check you’re using, turn it over. What you may find is that the black carbon stripe only goes partway across the back but does not cover the “check amount” box at the end. The reason for this oddity is that, when used properly, the check is first positioned over a purchase journal, not the disbursemets style journal. If you have this short carbon stripe and are using the check to its full potential then everything is fine. If however you are just using the check with a disbursements journal then you need to find a check vendor who understands your problem and can supply you with this check style with a full carbon stripe.
