Paying AP invoices without cutting a physical check

Suzanne Tennity

We will be starting to use an outside service to pay our AP vendors. She will still process all of our AP invoices in Blackbaud FE NXT and need to show them all paid via check in FE NXT but don't really need to waste paper/check stock printing out checks. Is there a way to pay them via a check number without printing a check? We set up the outside vendor as a Bank in FE NXT. Thank you!

@Suzanne Tennity There is, at least in NXT, you can choose to export the checks ( in fact if you use chrome you can't print directly and have to export to PDF to even print checks). But you can choose to export the checks then close the preview and say the checks printed successfully. that would log them into your bank's register without having to actually print anything. You can then save or delete the PDF you make with the export.

HI Suzanne, we're just testing our migration to FENXT. But I'd like to know from you why you're using an outside vendor instead of using NXT to pay for invoices? Is this process not supported by FENXT? Thanks!
