We process our checks in two groups. We mail checks to one set of owners. The other set of owners have their income deposited directly into their bank accounts so we use a "dummy" check No. listing. Can we process the checks or owners in two separate groups or batches?

There's not a way to keep one group of owners separate from another during a run closing. You can only separate wells into different well groups, but not owners.

In that situation described, I'd recommend using the Selected Checks option when printing your checks. This will bring up a check selection screen, allowing you to choose which owners checks you'd like to print. You can select multiple checks by clicking on the check, and then hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while selecting the other checks you wish to print. This will allow only the selected checks to be sent the printer.

Once those checks have been printed, then you can print the remaining owners using a different beginning check number from your dummy check number listing. You can either print them on blank paper, or simply click Cancel in the Windows Print screen, and our software will still ask if the checks printed OK.

You can answer that they did print OK even though they weren't physically printed, and that will allow the system to assign the dummy check number to the check and mark it as printed so that it no longer appears in your print queue.
