Entering outstanding checks or bank charges
        When working with a bank charge, you can type Bank Charge in the Check# box on the 1-1 Checks/Bank Charges window. You can also type it as BCmm/dd/yyyy (where mm/dd/yyyy is the actual date of the bank charge). Sage 100 Contractor saves the information and displays the resulting transaction the 1-5 Bank Reconciliation window with Bank Charge in the transaction number (Trans#) column in the checks area.
        Caution! Do not enter a vendor number. It would otherwise affect the Vendor 1099 balances. The Vendor 1099 balances are set up later.
