Enabling the Check Reuse Functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3

When printing checks, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3. allows you to use the same check number if a check needs to be reprinted. This can be of great importance if there is a pre-printed check number on your check stock. The check stock may have been misaligned during printing or the check stock was not placed in the printer before the checks were generated requiring the same check number to be used when the checks are reprinted.

To enable the check reuse functionality, in the Cash and Bank management parameters enable the ‘Allow check reuse’ checkbox on the General tab.

When a check is generated, the payment status will be updated to ‘Sent’ and a check number is assigned to the payment line.

The payment status must be changed back to ‘None’ before a check can be regenerated.

If you do not enable the ‘Allow check reuse’ functionality, the check must be rejected/voided. When the check is regenerated, AX would assign the next check number in the sequence.

If the ‘Allow check reuse’ functionality is enabled, the Reuse option will be available from the Payment status drop-down list.

When the check is reprinted, the user will have the option to select the check number which was previously assigned in the ‘From’ field on the ‘Payment by check form’.
