How to assign a check number to pay the balance of a partially paid bill 

A check number cannot be assigned to a partially paid bill to record payment of the balance, even if the balance has been paid via EFT or through a hand-written check. 

If you paid the balance of a partially paid bill through either an EFT or through a handwritten check, there is only one way to record the payment: you must assign a check number through the normal check process.

The following example uses the check process to record a handwritten check or an EFT that pays the balance of a partially paid bill.

1. Mark the bill you want to pay and click Print Checks. 
   
   
   
2. Review the information and if it's correct, click Create Checks. 
   
3. You can change the check number on this screen. At this point, the check number has been recorded, but the check is now waiting in the Checks-To-Be-Printed queue. You must clear this check out of the queue by following the next steps. Click Print Selected.
   
4. The check PDF will display. Since your goal is to assign a check number and not to print a check, simply close the PDF. On the Did checks print OK? confirmation screen, leave the mark on Yes, I clicked the Print icon and Check(s) printed correctly and Click Submit. This clears it out of the checks-to-be-printed queue.
   
   
   Your bill has now been assigned a second check number for the balance that was either paid through an EFT or through a handwritten check.
