Hello there, @foodpromotionsusa.
Before anything else, I’d like to clarify a couple of things. When you say "record checks that have been paid," are you trying to mark checks you’ve written as cleared/reconciled in your bank account, or are you trying to enter checks you’ve written directly into your register? Also, are these checks already showing in your bank feed, or do you need to manually enter them?
If you're trying to mark checks as cleared/reconciled, here's how:
- Go to Accounting. Then choose Reconcile.
- Select your bank account and enter the statement date and ending balance.
- Check off each cleared check that appears on your bank statement.
- When the difference is $0.00, click Finish now.
If you're trying to enter checks directly into your register, here's how:
- Go to Accounting.
- Select Chart of Accounts.
- Find your bank account and click Account History.
- Click Add cheque, fill in the payee, amount, and category/account, then click Save.

If you mean something else, I’ll need a bit more information to provide proper guidance.
