Prior to printing checks, you must first select the vouchers you want to pay.

To select vouchers for payment:

1. From the button bar, click Action and select Pay Vouchers.  The following screen appears:

2. In the Bank Code field, enter the code associated with the bank you are writing checks or use the down arrow to select from a list of bank codes (if you have more than one).

3. Select the vouchers for payment. (To select or de-select all vouchers, right-click and choose “Select All for Payment” or “Deselect All for Payment”), or you may select certain vouchers by clicking the box next to that voucher, highlighting the voucher and clicking the spacebar, or highlighting the voucher, right clicking and selecting “Select for Payment.”

If you use accrual basis accounting you can do a partial payment of a voucher by right clicking on the voucher, selecting “Make Partial Payment,” and entering the amount for the current check run. If you use cash basis accounting, you cannot partially pay a voucher.

Note: As you select/deselect vouchers for payment, you will notice that the running balance for the bank is displayed at the top.  You will also see a running total to be paid at the bottom.

4. When you have all the vouchers selected for the check run, print the “Pre-Check Register.”

Printing a Pre-Check Register

Though not required by the system, Orion strongly recommends that you print a Pre-Check Register prior to printing the actual checks.

To print a pre-check register:

1. Select the vouchers to be paid.

2. Click Pre-Check Register to generate the report.  

The following screen appears:

3. Click Print to print a hard copy of the report.

4. Once the report has printed, review to make sure you have accurately selected vouchers for payment.
