Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports electronic and manual check issuance. Both methods use the payment journal to issue checks to vendors. You can also void checks and view check ledger entries. For more information, see How to: Void Checks and How to: View Check Ledger Entries.
The process of creating checks suggests payments, creates ledger entries, and prints the checks. If you create manual checks, you forgo the steps of printing the check.
When Computer Check is selected in the Bank Payment Type field in the Payment Journal window, the checks must be printed before the journal lines can be posted.
Your printer must be correctly set up with the check forms.

| When you have printed a check, Microsoft Dynamics NAV selects the Check Printed check box on the payment journal lines. This means that you cannot print the check again unless you specifically select the Reprint Checks check box in the request window. |
