When I print several checks they all print but why is one of the printed checks still in the queue and in the check registry it has no check number?

In the check registry instead of the check number it say To Print.  The check stub is attached to the receipt so I know I have printed the check and mailed it.

When I print several checks they all print but why is one of the printed checks still in the queue and in the check registry it has no check number?

Hello everyone.


Thanks for reaching out to us here in the Community. Allow me to share additional information regarding this printing issue.  

 

When a check is tagged as Print Later in the write check window, it won't generate a check number. This will remain in the print queue until you actually print it, then let you assign a check number. However, since you already tried removing the check mark on the Print Later box and the issue persists, we can try running the verify and rebuild process. Verifying data identifies the data issues within your company file, while the Rebuild data resolves most data integrity issues.

 

Here's how:

  1. Click on File at the top menu bar.
  2. Select on Utilities.
  3. Click on Rebuild Data.
  4. Select OK when you see Rebuild has completed.

Once done, you can proceed with verifying the data:

  1. Click on File.
  2. Select on Utilities.
  3. Click on Verify Data.
  4. If you see QuickBooks detected no problem with your data, select OK. You may continue using your company file.


For detailed steps about this process, please refer to this article: Resolve data damage on your company file.

 

Hello @Billybainu, Let me provide some insights into this concern. Since checks are printed from your Wellspring Software's Print Boss for check writing. QuickBooks will consider the checks as to be printed. All you need to do is to assign check numbers inside QuickBooks so it will reflect once it has been printed.

 

In case you need further assistance with this matter, I'd suggest reaching out to our Phone Specialist. Agents have the necessary tools to work with you to find out what exactly may be causing this issue.

 

To reach them:

  1. In your browser, navigate to https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact.
  2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop.
  3. Click an issue or topic.
  4. Select the Green Phone button to see the support number.

Keep me posted if there's anything else that you need, I'll be around to provide further assistance. Have a good one!

  2. Remove the check mark for Print Later.
  3. Enter the Check No.
  4. Click Save & Close.
  5. Click Yes.

That's what I have been doing.  My main question is why does it look like it never printed when it did?  And why isn't it recording the check number?  Thank you!

I have the same issue. I am using QB accountant 2018 with Wellspring Software's Print Boss for check writing. I wonder if any of these details are causing the problem. It would seem unlikely, as Print Boss is a printer driver...

Perhaps the reason is that I click OK on the QB dialog box that says that the check does not need to be reprinted BEFORE I  allow Print Boss to print the check. Would that mess things up, because QB has not "received confirmation" that the check has been printed from the printer driver? Does this make sense to anyone?

I am out of my field here, trying to explain computers when I am an accountant...

My QB is doing the same thing.  I just got refunded twice from a company that uses QB.  This could cause a major issue with a company and needs to be fixed.

It is  the last check of a batch for me but does not do it all the time.  Another bug that will probably never be fixed.

Hello,

 

We are encountering the same issue and use QB ES 18.0.  After this happened with our check batch last week, we installed the most recent update and rebuilt our data file 3 times with the last two rebuilds indicating there were no errors.  We ran our check batches today only to find this happened again with two of our checks where QB printed duplicate checks in our second batch even though the check numbers for the initial printing were assigned to the applicable bill payments.  The duplicate printed checks also do not show up in the QB register.  Is QB going to do anything to resolve this?

For me the problem is even worse because I print one check at a time and about half the time it leaves to print and half the time the number shows up. I have rebuilt and verified the data 3 times and they all still say to print.

YES This is the exact thing that happens to me. The issue started in 2017, but it keeps getting worse. I have spent hours re-entering check numbers after the fact. VERY FRUSTRATING. I searched online to see if they had fixed this in QB2018/2019. I am using 2016 and always do the updates.

This shows is "solved" but I don't see where it is.  

 

Has anyone figured this out?  I've accidentally mailed a check twice a couple times over the past few years.  It's very frustrating.

So technically, this issue isn't resolved.

 

Referring a client to a telephone number doesn't resolve the issue.

Greetings, @josh-mendoza,

 

Allow me to step in and share some information about the printed checks still showing in your queue.

 

If you leave checks to be printed later, then they remain in the queue. However, you can still remove them from the print queue.

 

You can just enter check numbers as you create them and disable "To print" option if you aren't printing them.

 

If you've already verified and rebuilt data, and the same issue persists. I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop care team so they can investigate your account. They're equipped with tools to help check this for you.

 

Let me know how the call goes by replying to this thread. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

When I print several checks they all print but why is one of the printed checks still in the queue and in the check registry it has no check number?

Hi Brenda79,

 

I was having this same issue, and it was only happening with the first check printed in a batch of checks.  I finally figured out why it was happening after much frustration.  It is definitely a bug in Quickbooks Pro 2016, which I reported to Intuit about a year ago, but they have not fixed it yet.

 

After the checks printed, instead of using my mouse to click on the Ok button in the screen that asks if the checks printed correctly, I was trying to save time by hitting the Enter key.  When I did this, two things were happening.  The first check in the list of checks printed was being selected, and the Ok button was being selected.  It was just the first check, because it is highlighted by default, and so by hitting Enter it was selecting the first check, and I could actually see the check mark appear for a second before the window closed.

 

The solution I came up with to prevent the problem is to go into Preferences, select the General tab, and check the box that says "Pressing Enter moves between fields".  Once this option is set, you will not be able to select a highlighted button by hitting Enter.  You will have to use the mouse to click on the button.

 

If you don't like this preference setting, you can avoid the problem by being very careful and make sure you always use the mouse to select Ok when it asks you if the checks printed correctly.

 

I hope this helps everyone that is having this issue. 

 

Thanks,

 

Todd Emerson

Thank you for the info! I think that is my exact issue. I usually press enter and the first check is the one that remains in "to be printed" after it has been printed. I'll see if it happens again after I start using my mouse instead of pressing enter. Thanks again!

I just reset the tick box. Let's see if it works. I have struggled with this bug for two years. Was hoping a competitor would enter the field so I could change software! They should change the name of the company to ErrorBooks, ha ha -

I am not sure why this has not been corrected yet.  it has been years.  i am in 3 different QB versions every day and they all do it.  the latest one is QBES19 Accountants version.  a rep online help just asked me way too many questions and did not know that there has ever been an issue.  couldn't help and took too long.  this is extremely frustrating.  Check #'s begin for the next print session where they are supposed to so no way to know that your print run is going to duplicate the printing, but not the posting.
