How to modify the check sequence number

Sometime check number sequences get off, for whatever reason.  Maybe you skipped a sheet, one got lost or the wrong number was erroneously entered.    Here's how to manually reset the sequence number for checks.
  1. From the Chart of Accounts, (Accounting / Chart of Accounts) double click the account for which you wish to modify the check number sequence.
  2. In the Last Check Number field, enter the last check number.   The next time you create a payment, the check number will be one higher than what you entered.   If you are unsure, click Find Last and the system will find the last number that was used (but keep in mind, it may be the one that caused the incorrect sequence in the first place).
  3. Click Save and Close.
