QUESTION:
How do you create a check with an encumbered PO?
PROCESS:
From Checks > New Check
Use the Tab key or your mouse to move between fields on the New Check screen.
A check may reference multiple PO’s on the same check, but the same PO # cannot be selected more than once to pull into the same check.
Enter the check Date or leave it as the default current date.
Leave the Check Number as PRINT, if the check will be printed.
Use your mouse to move to the Purchase Order field and type the PO # or enter a zero ( 0 ) to show a list of open PO’s. The PO prefix should not be typed as part of the PO #.
Use the mouse to select the PO to be paid, then click the TAB key.
The Vendor information, Description, Account #, and PO Liq Amount will quick fill from the posted PO.If the PO will be fully liquidated (closed) with this check, do not change the PO Liq Amt field.
If the PO is to be partially liquidated and leave a remaining open PO balance, you will need to change the PO Liq Amount.
Enter the Invoice # (if applicable).
The optional Event Code and/or Category fields can be selected (if applicable).
Enter the payment Amount for each detail line.
Click Save.
A check may have as many detail lines as needed. The main check stub will print nine (9) detail lines and a continuation stub will be printed for checks with more than nine detail lines.
Once a check is saved, it moves into the Unposted Check Register in the lower portion of the check screen. Any saved checks that are listed in the Unposted Check Register may be edited prior to printing the check.
When ready to print the check, click the blue PRINT button 
or navigate to Checks > Print Checks.
Optional: To print a list of saved checks before printing them, click on the Print Proof Listing button. The Proof Listing includes signature lines to use as an approval for the payables.
