Creating and Printing a Cheque
In XoroERP system, a cheque can be issued for various payments, including vendor bill settlements, outgoing payments, or customer deposit refunds. While there is no dedicated module to issue a cheque, you can create cheques in Xoro by marking your transaction (Bill Payment, Outgoing Payment, or Sale Tax Payment) with a Payment Method of “Cheque”. From there, you have the option of assigning it with a cheque number, auto-assigning it, or printing the cheque later as part of the cheque queue.
Furthermore, you can manage all your cheques from the "Cheque Centre". To void a cheque, you can go to the "Void Cheque" module.
Creating a Cheque
To create a cheque, begin by initiating a payment (say bill payment). In the payment module, select "Cheque" as the payment method and click on "Pay Bill". You will be navigated to the "Assign Cheque Numbers" module.

Print Cheques Later
Select this option if you prefer to generate a batch of checks for printing together later, perhaps at the end of the day. When this option is selected, no number will be assigned to the check at the time of payment.
Auto Assign
The system maintains an internal record of check numbers. If you choose to auto-assign a cheque number, the system allocates the next sequential number based on the existing check numbers in the system. For example, if the last recorded check number in the system is 100, the system will designate 101 as the number for the current check.
