Process Checks for Employees with Payments Due

You can produce employee expense checks and post employee payments manually or automatically.

Prerequisites: Before you process checks, process employee payments.

If your firm uses the Deltek First Vision Essentials cloud version of Vision, the Print Payments option is not available. You can preview checks onscreen and then print checks from the Preview window.

To process checks, complete the following steps:

1. On the Employee Payment Processing toolbar, click Process Payments.
2. Select one of the following actions on the Payment Printing and Numbering form:
   • If no checks are selected for processing, a message displays and you must select checks to pay before you can proceed.
   • If you manually produce checks for employee advances and expenses, you must record and post the payments in your general ledger.
3. Click Preview Payments and review the checks before you print them.
4. Print checks by completing one of the following actions:

   Option	Description
   Print Payments	Click this option to print the check file.
   Press CTRL on your keyboard and click Print Payments at the same time	Do this to print using printing technology from a previous version of Vision (with slightly different formatting).

5. Click Payment Margins to adjust the top and left margins of your checks. You do not need to adjust margins if you selected a check template on the General tab of Configuration > Accounting > Company Settings.
6. If you need to assign check numbers, click Assign Numbers.
7. Click Print and then click File Copy to print a file copy.
8. Click Export to Text to export check information to a text file, to be processed in third-party software.
