How do I Enter Electronically Paid Disbursements?

In order to get them into accounts payable (and distributed to a client-matter), you will need to enter the voucher and save it as a manual check.  Some firms have a system in which they use two sets of check numbers so they don’t waste a preprinted check. The problem with this method is you take a chance of overlapping check numbers (a situation which Orion will not allow to occur).

Since you can change the check number when you enter the manual check, you can start the “next check number” with a 9 (i.e. if the next check number is 4500, when entering the manual check number you would enter something like 9994500).

Note:  Entering a manual check number DOES NOT increment the next available check number in the system so it will not impact your next check number available for actual printing of checks.
