Change Starting Check Number Outside Payroll

Description of Issue

How do I change the Starting Check Number in Print Payroll Checks, outside of the Payroll?

Context
  • Payroll

  • Payroll Setup

  • Payroll Control Settings 

Cause

I want to set the starting check number for next payroll in advance, so in Payroll, Print Payroll Checks, it reflects the correct Starting Check Number now.  

Resolution
  1. Go to Payroll>Payroll Setup>Payroll Control Settings

  2. Search Category: Default Numbers, Level: Next Check

  3. Click Next Check

  4. Click Update, define Value to the correct starting check number

  5. Click Accept
