Check Register (PRR210)

Use the Check Register to obtain a report of all regular, manual, and void check information since the last Check Register was updated. The program writes all checks to the bank transaction files and posts to the bank’s GL account number and optionally updates the bank balance.

The optional update following the register updates all necessary files. The records are written to SMTRNH file with a status of "C" for complete; all check information such as check number, payee and register number is stored.

This register is an audit trail of all hours, earnings, taxes and other deductions and should be printed, verified and updated each time a pay cycle is run. It can also be printed after field of manual or void checks. If the register is not printed directly after field of manual or void checks, the information is displayed on the next register with regular checks.
