There will be times when you need to update the next Trust Cheque number. Usually, this will only happen when you are converting from an old system or are changing chequebooks.

 

This method should NOT be used when a cheque has been written incorrectly or needs to be changed. Please see the link here for instructions on how to reverse or cancel a trust cheque.

Before you follow the steps below, ensure that you have the authority to change cheque numbers. 

If you are unsure then do NOT proceed until you have authority.

  1. From the navigation bar at the top, select the Trust Accounting icon

  3. Select the Trust Account that you are changing the cheque number for. This is especially important if you have multiple trust accounts.

     

  4. Scroll down and edit the next cheque number

  5. Change the Cheque number to the next in the sequence

  6. Select SAVE and then go and write the cheque

Note: If you are changing the cheque number to a number before the current cheque number, ensure that you follow these steps again to ensure the accuracy of the cheque numbers.
This is especially important if you are changing trust cheque numbers.
