Accounts Payable Expense Checks

	This routine may be used for recording checks after they have been 
	hand written.

	It may also be used for printing checks quickly to pay expenses that have
	NOT been entered as invoices, such as COD's, or any other expense.

	After posting, an option to actually print the check or not is offered.

	The checks are posted to the vendor as a paid invoice (if a vendor
	is designated), posted to the check register, and also distributed to
	requested G/L accounts.

			Crop/Job Cost

	If installed, options to distribute to Crops or Jobs are given. 

			Address changes

	For checks to existing Vendors, if you change the address on this 
	screen, an option to update the Vendors master screen is given.

			NOTE

	If you want multiple invoice numbers being paid documented on 
	the check stub, you should NOT use this expense check option.
	Rather you should enter these as invoices first, then use the
	Pay Vendor Invoices. That will then print all invoices paid 
	on each check stub.

	You will note that a Detail Description field is presented when
	Distributing to the G/L. This description is also saved with each
	check/transaction entered here for vendors on file. These may be viewed
	later by listing transactions from the Vendor master screen.

		Recording Withdrawals 

	You may use a W for the check # to record Withdrawals
	like Debit cards, and/or on-line payments from the bank account. A document
	for these transactions may be printed using the check format if needed.

	Be careful to know what forms are in the printer, to avoid printing on 
	check stock inadvertently.

		Recurring Payments

	For vendors that you pay periodicly the same amount, like a monthly rent
	or lease, you may use the vendor comments to help enter and remember the amount
	for payment. The trigger is using the Ref# field to match the comment.

	For instance, for your rental vendor and a rent of 700.00, add a comment that
	looks like this: expchk 700.00 Office Rent
		(a space must be the separator on both sides of the amount)

	Then when you wish to pay this, enter the vendor#, and remaining fields, note
	that the default ref# is EXPCHK . Just enter thru it, and the comments are 
	searched for the first word of 'EXPCHK' (case is ignored). If found, the amount (700.00
	here) is put as the default for this transaction. Also the remaining info on the line
	is plugged as the default for the Detail Description which will go on the G/L 
	transactions and on the paid transaction posted to the vendor.

	If you make other payments to the vendor, this will still become the default amount
	UNLESS you change the Ref#. You can however always override the amount.

	Another method could be to use the word RECUR instead of EXPCHK in the comment.
	But you would have to remember to key the word 'recur' or 'RECUR' into the Ref#
	to pick out the payment amount. But this could be a system to quickly pay 
	each recurring expense. Setup a system for your own requirements. 

		Credit Card Charges

	One way to detail Credit Card charges you make, is to set up a
	Credit Card G/L account (liability); maybe one for each credit card.
	Also if needed, set up vendors that you do business with via the Credit
	Cards.

	Then use this Expense check process, but be sure the Bank G/L account
	is this Credit Card account. Then using the W (WithD) as the check#, you can
	record each charge to each vendor, distributing the expenses as
	needed. These will show as paid invoices on the vendor file.

	You can set up the CC company(s) as vendors, but only reference them 
	when you make a credit card payment. Use this expense check routine to pay them,
	and be sure to distribute the expense to the CC company G/L liability account.

	It should be noted that using this method will make the CC card activity
	appear to be doubled in the A/P activity reports, but the General 
	Ledger will be correct, and even show unpaid CC transactions thru the
	last statement you entered WithD for.
