CHECK DATE
CHECK DATE OF PREPAID INVOICE.
8 Character Date Field in Standard Windows Format - MM/DD/YY.
Enter the DATE of the Prepaid Check. BE SURE TO ENTER ALL PREPAID CHECKS
WRITTEN DURING THE MONTH BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE MONTH.
If the Check Date is WITHIN THE CURRENT MONTH the only DATE CONSIDERATION
is NOT TO USE A CHECK DATE THAT WAS USED FOR A REGULAR A/P CHECK RUN.
This way you can run a Check Register that will include ONLY the Prepaid
Checks, which becomes part of your Audit Trail.
If the Check Date is in the PRECEEDING MONTH you can enter it with that
month's date IF YOUR PREVIOUS MONTH'S A/P HAS NOT BEEN CLOSED TO THE
GENERAL LEDGER. In this case when you run the NEXT STEP, Validate, Print,
and Update, be sure to use a Date ALSO IN THE PREVIOUS MONTH. If the
Month has ALREADY been closed use a DATE IN THE CURRENT MONTH.
