Use

In Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, check numbers can be assigned during the mass creation of checks by the payment program, as well as in Online Check Printing in dialog processing.

Features

In FI-CA, you can assign check numbers using the following procedures:

Internal check number assignment guarantees that the check numbers are issued internally and assigned sequentially. The numbers are assigned via the check number lots. You can maintain number ranges for check number lots in the SAP menu under  Settings Current Settings Assign Internal Check Numbers .

You can issue externally numbered checks manually or have the payment program issue them automatically.

In the Implementation Guide for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under  Basic Functions Check Management Settings for Check Creation , for each combination of company code, house bank, and account, you can define which number assignment is to be used for check creation.

 Number assignment for replacement checks

With automatic number assignment, the check number is the same as the payment document number. For example, if the document number is 120000004711, the check number is 120000004711. This also applies for the numbering of replacement checks. However, the first character of the document number corresponds to the number of the replacement check. For the example above, a replacement check number of 1 120000004711 is the first replacement check, and the number 2 120000004711 denotes the second replacement check.
