Use this program to print a register of all returned checks entered in the Returned Check Entry program since the last register was run.
The optional update — for second time returned checks — posts to General Ledger, creates new open documents and updates customer balances and writes returned check information to the bank transaction files. A check entered as a first time return is not posted to the open documents file; the system assumes that you will re-deposit it.
The Returned Check Register update posts to the bank’s GL account number and update (reduces) the bank balance; it posts returned checks to the bank transaction files with a status of "C" for complete. The system stores all check information like check number, payee and register number will be stored.
The register printout includes the following information: customer number, customer name, check number, check date, return date, check amount, return charge, and memo for first and second returns. A report total is given along with number of returned checks listed. Depending on the flag in the company AR static control record, the user may obtain a general ledger distribution printout.
