Checks — Features
Sage 300 ERP Accounts Payable comes with several 
sample
formats for checks
with attached advice slips. You can use the sample formats or change them
to suit your company's requirements (for example, to adapt the formats
if you use separate pre-printed check and advice forms) using Crystal
Reports.
You can select one of the following formats when printing checks:
Accounts Payable includes Crystal (.RPT) versions of the following printed forms:
- APCHECK — advice only
- APCHK01 — advice-check-advice forms for laser printers
- APCHK01A — similar
to ARCHK01. The check portion is ANSI-compliant
The American National Standards Institute standard facilitates the conversion of checks to electronic images so that they can be cleared electronically. Accounts Payable lets you print ANSI-compliant refund checks for the US and Canada.
The ANSI format has a slightly different layout from the other forms, as follows:
- The date is printed in one of the formats DDMMYYYY, MMDDYYYY, YYYYMMDD, depending on your windows setup.
- The currency code and currency symbol (for example, $) is printed before the check amount, depending on the currency setup in Common Services.
- The text version of the amount prints "Dollars."
- APCHK02 — advice and check
- APCHK03 — check-advice-advice
- APCHK11 — check-advice-advice for 11-inch check forms.
- APCHK11A — similar
to ARCHK11A, is ANSI-compliant

Information printed on the report
The sample combined check and advice slip that comes with Accounts Payable contains the following:
- Information about the transaction(s) being paid by the check.
- The check number on the preprinted form. You specify the first check number to use when you print the check, so that Accounts Payable assigns check numbers to the payments that match the check numbers on your forms.
- The numeric check amount. It is preceded by asterisks (and the textual check amount is followed by asterisks) to prevent alteration.
- The name of the payee. It is positioned on the sample check to be visible in form envelopes. You can change the position of this and any other information printed on the check forms.
