Record vendor and payee checks

You can use
Check transactions
 to record payments to vendors and payees. You can modify or delete unprinted check transactions at any point, but you can't void or reverse them. Once a check has been printed, you can't edit the check details, but you can modify the distributions, journal, and posting period.
When you press Tab (or Enter, if you marked the
Use Enter key to move between fields
 checkbox in the
System
 tab of the
User Preferences
 window) in the ID and Payee fields, the application automatically enters the data in those fields from the last saved transaction. If you don’t want to repeat the information from the last saved transaction, you can enter or select new information, press Ctrl + spacebar on your keyboard to leave the field blank and move to the next field, or disable the auto-filling behavior by marking the Don’t auto-fill values from the previous transaction checkbox in the
Edit
 then
Options
 window.
The application automatically uses the date from the last saved transaction for subsequent transactions, but you can override that date as necessary.
