I'm working on customizing a vendor payment form for one of our many subsidiaries to meet local bank requirements when the actual check is printed. The vendor payment form is set to use advanced pdf templates, but I found that even if I updated that it was still printing the basic check format. After some digging, I found that our standard check form layout is set to print basic, while the custom vendor payment form is set to use advanced printing. I tested changing the check form layout to print using the advanced templates and surprisingly, when I test printed a vendor payment, it finally printed the updated advanced template. Does this seem normal? Why would I have to customize the check transaction form to be able to print a vendor payment check? Also wanted to add that the subsidiary requesting this change does not use the check record type at all and thus will never be using the check form. They only use vendor payments.

This rings a bell as the right way to do it

Really? This seems SO odd to me! How in the world could I make this change only specific to this subsidiary if they don't use the check form? I was originally thinking I could just create a custom check form for them so they could select that and it would print using the advanced template, but since they don't use the check form to begin with, it wouldn't work to do that. The way I see it, this change would affect all subsidiaries since they all use the same check form.

You're either all in on advanced templates or not from a check writing perspective.

Oh shoot. This is so stupid. Thanks
