Features

Selection

Specify the company code and enter the selection parameters for which you want to run the report. The fiscal year always defaults to the current year. Change it if you wish to run the report for a different year. Note that the Check Printing Language indicates the language in which you want to print the check.

Output

The output of the report is an ALV with the following tabs:

  • Postdated Checks

  • Spool Status

The Postdated Checks tab displays your postdated checks and tells you whether or not they are ready for printing. The tab is divided into two sections.

  • The upper section, PDCs Ready for Printing, displays checks that are ready for printing but either do not have a spool number, or have an obsolete spool number. If you have not selected the Automatic Printing checkbox for a given company code and bank key combination in the Customizing activity Specify Printing Parameters for Postdated Checks, then the postdated checks that you enter with those attributes will not have a print spool number created automatically. To create a spool number and print the check, select a postdated check from the list and choose the Print Check pushbutton.

  • The lower section, PDCs Not Released for Printing (Missing Configuration), displays checks that are not ready for printing because you have not made the required settings in the Customizing activities Specify Printing Parameters for Postdated Checks or Specify Printers for Postdated Checks. After you have made settings for the given attributes, the check will display in the PDCs Ready for Printing section.

The Spool Status tab displays the spool status of your postdated checks. The upper section, Created Spool Requests, displays checks with a valid spool request that you have not printed yet. The lower section, Completed Spool Requests, displays checks that have already been printed.
