Payment by Cheque

Creating Cheques

Navigate to: Vendors > Accounts Payable > Pay Invoices

First, select the bank account – this will filter a list of transactions that are in the Subsidiary and Currency of the bank account selected.

In most cases, you will use “Vancity – CAD FN” for The Foundation, and “Vancity – CAD IN” for The Society.
For cheques in USD, select either “Vancity USD FN” for The Foundation, or “Vancity USD IN” for The Society.


Once the bank account is selected, all unpaid invoices related to that bank account / currency will be listed at the bottom of the window

Select the invoices to pay by checking off the box to the left of the transaction, complete payment information – date, “to be printed”, etc. – then SAVE.

Printing Cheques

Navigate to: Vendors > Accounts Payable > Print Cheques & Forms

Select Bank Account > this will show you a list of cheques that are ready to print. 

Note: If you have ONLINE PAYMENTS to make, run the above steps but make sure “To be printed” is unchecked.

Select Invoice cheques to be printed and click print. 

AS SOON AS YOU DO THIS THE CHEQUE IS CREATED, so be sure to only do this process when you are ready. If you do not mean to print the cheques, then you need to edit the Invoice Payments one-by-one and mark them as “to be printed” again – this is a lot of extra work, so only go through the printing process when you are absolutely ready.

When you save, a PDF preview of cheque(s) will appear.

PRINT – be sure that the printer settings are set to Paper Size = Letter (not A4) to ensure the template aligns correctly with the cheques.
