Hi, I have 2 check adv pfd/html templates (one for vendors and one for employee). They are set based on the Check record form (vendor check form/employee check form). However, we would like to have the same functionality when checks are printed from Bill Payments (Edit Bill Payment -> Save & Print button). How do I manage which Check template is printed via the Bill Payment record’s Save & Print button?

I think it's the standard vendor check template.
there are checks, then there are paychecks. Paychecks template for employee check and checks form for vendors

also there is a bill payment form

looks like this is what you want.
customize -> forms - > transactions forms - > customize bill payment

So that print template is to print the actual bill payment record. When you click Save & Print in edit mode, it prints a check template.
r
sounds like it, it says print template for the form 'bill payment'
does save and print even get you to the print check page?
j
When you click the print icon from the Bill Payment, that will create a Bill Payment Print template (the one highlighted in your screenshot). But the Save & Print creates a sort of check template.
r
When we print a bill payment we save the bill payment, then goto management - > print checks and forms. Then print the check from there.

it says standard payment voucher template.
which is a sort of check template
j
That’s true, I am able to create multiple voucher templates and set different templates for different forms. I’m basically trying to do that for an actual check, but from the Bill Payment record.
We don’t have the payroll feature, so we do not have access to Paychecks at the moment.
r
when you print voucher from the bill payment here on the print icon, you get a different printout than the 'save and print' option?
You want the save and print button to print an actual check?
j
The workaround for checks works great because it prints an employee check when an employee is set as the payee and it prints a vendor check when the vendor is set as the payee. I’m trying to implement that concept into Bill Payments.
Yes the PRINT VOUCHER prints the voucher template, but the SAVE & PRINT prints a check template.
r
and you want to modify the check template it uses when you click save and print.

The SAVE & PRINT button already prints a check. I want it to be able to print different types of check templates depending on the form.
r
ah ok, you want to select a check template before you hit save and print
j
Yes! Or if on Custom Form A, print check template A. If Custom Form B - Print check template B.
r
I don't see how you can select what form is used for 'save and print'
but I think you can customize the print voucher form to a check form
j
Even from the print checks & forms page, I would like to select which check template to print.
I see what you mean. Using the Voucher template placement as a check template?
r
ya if that's possible, you would have to just hit save, then print from the transaction after.
j
I think what I’m requesting might be a NS limitation and would require further customization.
r
I would be curious what this looks like printed.
it doesn't say payment voucher
j
The payment voucher looks very different than an actual check.
r
Yes, but the bottom option may not be a voucher
it just says us vendor payment template
j
Oh right! That one prints a check!!
does this help with printing different check templates from print checks and forms window?
j
So you can select for a bill payment to print a voucher or a check! But not both, unless you have multiple forms.
r
if I understand this article, the form on the check record is dictating which advanced html template is used
j
Ah I see. But I think I can create custom check templates from the “Standard US Vendor Payment..” template to solve my issue.
I just would not be able to print vouchers on the same form.
since only one template can be selected.
r
Yea I think you can, but it may not work from the 'save and print' option

i'm a little confused by that one still
1. Save & Print Button (Edit Mode) = will print using the template of standard check. 2.
r
there you go, so you cant use save and print with custom check template on bill payment
