Cheques are usually made up of two forms—the cheque and the stub. The stub shows a summary of what's on the cheque.
You can customise both the cheque and each type of cheque stub in one window, by selecting the stub layout. Stub layouts include:
Regular—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Spend Money window.
Payable (Not Basics)—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Pay Bills window.
Refund—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Settle Returns & Credits window.
Paycheque (Plus and Premier, Australia only)—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Pay Employees window.
Print two cheque stubs
