      Effect on Cheques<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • The routing applies to the handover, collection, and rejection entries.<\/li>\n
      • With Assign per cheque<\/strong>, if you leave Notes Payable Account<\/strong> empty on the cheque, the default Notes Payable account is used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

        Where do I find the Notes Payable account?<\/h3>\n

        In the Chart of Accounts under Current Liabilities. The system creates it automatically.<\/p>\n

        When should I use Assign per cheque?<\/h3>\n

        Use it if you want to separate notes payable into different accounts for each bank or cheque type.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[2122,2110,2113,2123],"tags":[4255,30009,19742,7034,30006,30010,30011,30007,30005,30008,30013,30012],"class_list":["post-158054","tutorial","type-tutorial","status-publish","hentry","category-cheque-cycle","category-accounting-settings","category-accounts-routing","category-manage-payable-cheques","tag-accounts-routing","tag-assign-per-cheque","tag-automatic-assignment","tag-cheque-cycle","tag-cheques-accounts-routing","tag-current-liabilities","tag-how-do-i-set-the-account-for-paid-cheques","tag-notes-payable-account","tag-paid-cheque-account-routing","tag-paid-cheques","tag-when-should-i-assign-the-account-per-cheque","tag-where-do-i-find-the-notes-payable-account"],"yoast_head":"\nSetting Up Accounts Routing for Paid Cheques (Notes Payable) - Daftra Knowledge Base<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.daftra.com\/en\/tutorial\/paid-cheques-accounts-routing-setup\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Setting Up Accounts Routing for Paid Cheques (Notes Payable) - Daftra Knowledge Base\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The paid cheque account routing determines the intermediary account (Notes Payable) in which a cheque is recorded after you hand it over, until it is collected.
