I have provided a handwritten check, how do I record them?
Handwritten cheques for bills are common and Zoho Books provides a provision to record them. Here’s how you can record it:
- Go to the Purchases module and choose Bills.
- Locate the bill for which you have issued a handwritten check.
- Click Record Payment and enter the relevant details.
- Select Check from the Payment Mode dropdown and choose Undeposited Funds account from the Paid Through dropdown.
- Save the payment.
Once the cheque clears, you can create a fund transfer entry in the respective bank account. To record it:
- Go to the Banking module on the left sidebar and click the bank account from which the amount was transferred.
- Click Add Transaction and choose Transfer To Another Account as the category.
- Enter the required details and, in the To Account field, associate the Undeposited Funds Account.
- Save the transaction.
Insight: Instead of following the above workaround, you can now print cheques from Zoho Books. Visit this link to learn how to print cheque payments for vendor bills and advances.
