Duplicate payroll check numbers



Description of Issue
  • I noticed that we have many duplicate check numbers in Munis for our payroll checks / advices

  • Can AP and PR use the same check numbers?



Context
  • Enterprise ERP

  • Payroll Processing

  • Accounts Payable



Cause




Resolution

The process for printing Payroll Checks, Payroll Advices and Account Payable checks are independent programs.  Can use the same check number for a payroll check, a payroll advice and an AP check.  For example, can print a payroll check, a payroll advice and an accounts payable check under check number 123456.  But cannot print 2 payroll checks or advices with the same number unless they are issued from different cash accounts.  Once a payroll check has been printed for check number 123456, cannot print another payroll check for that number for the same cash account.



Additional Information

If a site wants to maintain separate check numbers for payroll checks, payroll advices and/or accounts payable, the user may need to update the starting check number when they print the check run.
