Pay by checks¶
Once you decide to pay a supplier bill, you can select to pay by check. You can then print all the payments registered by check. Finally, the bank reconciliation process will match the checks you sent to suppliers with actual bank statements.
Configuration¶
Activate checks payment methods¶
To activate the checks payment method, go to , and scroll down to the Vendor Payments section. There, you can activate the Checks setting (which installs the Check Printing Base module) and set up the Check Layout.
Note
Once the Checks setting is activated, the Checks payment method is automatically set up in the Outgoing Payments tabs of bank journals.
The available check layouts are provided by country-specific modules. If no layout is available (None), check numbers can still be tracked, but checks cannot be printed from Odoo.

reconciling bank statements
Register a payment by check¶
