Writing a Check for an Unrecognized Vendor

If you write a check for a vendor that Brass Jacks Bookkeeper does not find on your Vendor list, it asks whether you want to locate the vendor, add the vendor, or write the check without adding the vendor.

To write a check for an unrecognized vendor:

1. In the Brass Jacks Bookkeeper workspace, click Check Payment in the Payables section.
2. Type the vendor's name in the Payee box.
3. When the Add New Vendor dialog box appears, select the option that best describes how you want to handle the payee on this check.
   You can add the vendor to the Vendors list, use the name as typed but don't add the vendor to the Vendors list, or select another vendor (usually if you mis-typed the name).
4. To not see this dialog box again and to use the current selection as your default selection, select the check box at the bottom.
5. Click OK.

Note: If you select the check box at the bottom, you can have Brass Jacks Bookkeeper show this dialog box again by adjusting options in the Company Information dialog box. (For details, see Specify Customer and Vendor Entry Options. For information about entering or editing vendor information, see Managing Vendor Information.)
