Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports electronic and manual cheque issuance. Both methods use the payment journal to issue cheques to vendors. You can also void cheques and view cheque ledger entries. For more information, see How to: Void Cheques and How to: View Cheque Ledger Entries.
The process of creating cheques suggests payments, creates ledger entries, and prints the cheques. If you create manual cheques, you forgo the steps of printing the cheque.
When Computer Cheque is selected in the Bank Payment Type field in the Payment Journal window, the cheques must be printed before the journal lines can be posted.
Your printer must be correctly set up with the cheque forms.
