The Orion Accounts Payable module will accommodate this scenario by way of the Quick Check feature.  First, you must set up a Vendor that you will use for all such checks (i.e., TEMP).  When you need to write a check for which you do not want to set up a new Vendor, access ACTION, Quick Check and use the Vendor ID you set up (TEMP).  In the “Pay to the Order Of” field, type in the correct name of the payee.  Enter the amount for the Quick Check. You may also change the address to be printed on the check by clicking the CHANGE ADDRESS Button (this button becomes accessible after the Vendor has been entered) and choose “for this check only.”

The check detail record holds the name of the payee so when you run the Check Register, the actual payee’s name will show instead of the Vendor Name (name attached to the Vendor Code).
