## Overview

This section holds UK-specific functionality for paying vendors from payment journals. It has two pages and no subtopics.

Print Checks for APACS explains how checks are printed in the standard APACS specification layout, including check preview, test print and a preprinted stub. Print Remittance Advice [GB] explains how to print remittance advice so vendors can see their invoice numbers and reconcile payments.

Start with the check page if you need to print checks from a payment journal. Use the remittance page if you need to send vendors payment details, before or after posting.
