How do you set up manual or previously written checks? I can't enter anything in the check number field.

Thanks for reaching out, @mvoschin.

Happy to help you create a previously written check in QuickBooks Desktop. I'd like to gain some additional insight into your question. Are you referring to a payroll check or a vendor check? Is the Check Number field greyed out or what happens when you click on it? Once I know this information I'll be able to get you back to business in no time.

Let me help you with vendor check concerns in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

Currently, the program doesn't have the option to create a check template. If you're referring to the Check window, you can add a check number field by unchecking the Print Later box. Simply open your check again and perform these steps to accomplish your task in QuickBooks.
