Assign Check Numbers

Check numbers in ObjAcct are assigned by Bank Account.  When you setup your Company in ObjAcct, you should enter the last check number used for each Bank Account for which checks are written.

1.  Select Chart of Account from the Lists menu.

2.  Double click on a specific "Bank" type Account to open the edit window.

3.  Enter the number of the last check number used or enter the check number you wish to begin with minus one in the Last Document Nbr field.

For example, if you want the next check for the given Bank Account to be 5000, you should enter 4999 in the Last Document Nbr.  Also, anytime throughout the year, if you want to modify the check number sequence, you will need to update the Last Document Nbr. 

NOTE:  When you enter checks in the Check application, if you do not print the check and manually key in a Check Number, the Bank Account's Last Document Nbr will be updated with that check number. 

4.  Click Save to save the Account change.
