Auto Check Writing

  • Updated

The ability to write checks to vendors in batches speeds up the amount of time spent processing checks to multiple vendors. It also allows the AP clerk to print remittance reports for selected invoices to get approval from management prior to printing the batch.

MotilityAnywhere has a built-in check writer that allows dealers to create and print checks, and auto-draft transactions. The check writing system automatically tracks accounts payable, floorplan and floorplan interest balances.
