Check entry is used to record all of the checks and cash received. All receipts will be organized by batch, where a batch represents one group of work.  A batch usually represents one days receipts, or the receipts of one bank deposit.

It is suggested that the operator first run a tape total on an adding machine of all of the receipts in the batch.  This then will be compared to the total of all of the receipts entered into the computer.  This greatly reduces the amount of adjustments needed because of wrong amounts being entered.

After all of the checks are entered and proofed a check register may be printed.  The actual cash application, which is the distribution of each receipts against open Accounts Receivable items, may be done at a later time while the bank deposit can be made at this time.

After the cash application is completed a cash register is printed and the batch of cash receipts may be updated.
