Paying Invoices

Issuing Checks

To pay your bills you must first mark the amounts of each invoice you want to pay and then tell Unique to issue checks for each account. 

Marking invoices for payment: 

To mark the amount you want to pay on each invoice: 

Select Misc/Mark Payments from the Accounts Payable menu.  

A scrollable window appears listing all the invoices for all your accounts. Highlight the invoice you want to pay and select Ok .  

Unique automatically enters the Still Due amount into the Marked field and allows you to edit the amount. If you want to pay the complete amount, then close the edit to accept it, or enter the amount you want to pay. 

When you have finished marking all the invoices for payment, select Exit to quit from the Mark Invoices menu. 

Issuing Checks:

To issue checks for the amounts marked for payment: 

Select Misc/Checks from the Accounts Payable menu.  

Unique first tells you the totals you have entered for all the accounts, compares that with your current bank balance, and asks for confirmation to proceed. 

You are then asked to enter the date of the checks (this defaults to the current date), the starting check number, and if you want checks printed. If you write your checks by hand enter N to the checks printed question. If you want Unique to print your checks, put your check forms in the printer and make sure it is turned on and the "on-line" light on the printer is lit.  Unique will then issue your checks.  

A single check is issued for every account and is automatically entered into your checking account. If Unique is printing checks for you, a list of the invoices being paid for every account will be printed on the check stub. 

When all the checks have been issued, Unique updates the Paid and Still Due fields for every invoice, resets the Marked for Payment field to zero, removes any invoices that have a Still Due amount of zero, and updates the Balance Due for every account and the whole Accounts Payable.
