Finding and resolving unprinted checks when closing the books

When there is a credit to an account in the cash range with a transaction number of 0000 when you are closing the books, Sage 100 Contractor displays a message stating that unprinted checks were found.

Tip: This message is informational only. It does not stop you from closing your books; however, you should resolve the unprinted checks issue.

To find and resolve unprinted checks:

1 Open 2-5 General Journals.
2 Print the 2-5-21 General Journal report with the following settings:
a In the Account box, use the range for all cash accounts listed in 1-8 General Ledger Setup.
b In the Trans# box, select Equal, and type 0000.
c In the Credit box, select Greater or =, and type $0.01.
3 If the transaction is an unprinted check, open 1-1 Checks/Bank Charges and click the Print Records button to print the check if desired. If you don’t need to print a check, open 1-3 Ledger Transactions, and change the Trans# to anything other than 0000.

Note: If it is a Source 16-Payroll, click on the Go To Source button to change the Check#. It's highly unusual that the check number would have been changed to 0000 unless the paycheck had to be reprinted immediately.
