Cash disbursement reports summarize checks, showing what you’ve paid to vendors (using the payee field), jobs and tasks, and G/L accounts.  

Checkbook reports can be used for reporting overhead expenses, tracking payments to vendors, and auditing your accounting. There are several different reports that show your cash disbursements from various perspectives; all reports, however, are based on posted checks.

Checks (including vendor credits) can be summarized for any period of time (choosing either check date or date posted), for one period or all periods, and for one payee or all payees. These options let you find the checks for a specific payee, such as the year’s payments for a freelancer.

Checkbook reports show only posted checks; unposted checks appear only on proof lists. You can print checkbook reports to the window (for a quick on-screen preview), the printer (for a hard copy), or to disk (to create a text file that can be opened and edited in a spreadsheet).

Cash disbursement reports are different from A/P reports, since they show only the payments, and not the invoice’s job costs. They show you what you paid to vendors. But they don’t show what the invoices originally bought.


Tips for printing checkbook reports

Cash reports select checks by date added (i.e., check date) or date posted. This option lets you show only checks added in July, for example, instead of the entire year. By entering a range of dates, you can select all checks added today, last week, or all month -- whatever time period you need. There’s no limit to which range of dates you can use.

You can print checkbook reports to the window (for a quick on-screen preview), the printer (for a hard copy), or exported to disk (to create a text file that can be opened and edited in a spreadsheet).

To show the check description (i.e., memo), click on the show description option. This option makes your check reports longer, but more descriptive.
