Generating AP Easy Checks

When you need to quickly process a payment for a single vendor, you can generate an AP easy check. This type of payment posts to the vendor’s subledger without requiring you to process other pending payments. In addition to generating checks, you can also record electronic payments (debit card, online bill pay, or ACH).

To generate an AP easy check

1. On the Vendors menu, select Easy Checks. The Easy Check screen appears.

2. Select the bank account from which the payment will be made.

3. Select AP. The Name Lookup/Entry screen appears.

4. Look up the name of the vendor you’re paying. For more information, see Looking Up Customer and Vendor Names.

5. Enter the following information:

a. Type a memo, reference (such as a document number), or both if needed.

b. If you need to backdate or postdate the payment, select a different date from the pop-up calendar.

c. Type the payment amount.

d. If you want to generate a check to give to the vendor, make sure the Print Checks check box is selected. If the payment will be or was handled electronically (with debit card, online bill pay, or ACH), clear the check box.

6. Click OK. TireMaster prompts you to complete the payment.

7. Click Yes. One of the following occurs:

If you printed a check, TireMaster prompts you to verify the check printed okay. If it did, click Yes and generate a check detail report (if needed). If you need to reprint the check, click No and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you didn’t print a check, generate the check detail report (if needed).
