Managing Cheque Books

How to manage cheque books in Re-Leased Client/Trust Accounting — add new cheque books, edit cheque ranges, cancel individual cheques or entire books, and archive completed books.

Updated over a week ago

Cheque Books in Re-Leased allow you to manage physical cheque payments from your Client/Trust Account. You can add, edit, cancel, and archive cheque books from Settings.



Accessing Cheque Books

  1. Navigate to Settings > Accounting > Cheque Books.

From the Cheque Books list you can: add a new book, view and cancel individual cheques by clicking a book's name, and switch between completed, cancelled, and archived tabs.


Adding a New Cheque Book

  1. Click Record New Cheque Book.

  2. Enter a name for the book.

  3. Select the associated Client/Trust Account.

  4. Enter the first and last cheque numbers to define the range.


Editing a Cheque Book

  1. Click Edit Cheque Book.

  2. Adjust the name or cheque number range.

Note: Use caution when changing the next cheque number. It is generally recommended to cancel rather than skip cheques to maintain clear records.


Cancelling a Cheque

  1. Click the cheque book name to view individual cheques.

  2. Click Cancel Cheque next to the cheque amount.

Cancelling reverses the associated payment and cannot be undone. Cancelled cheques display in red and cannot be cancelled again.


Cancelling an Entire Cheque Book

  1. Click Cancel Cheque Book and provide a reason.

All remaining unused cheques are marked as cancelled. This action is irreversible.


Archiving a Cheque Book

Archive only if no cheques have been issued, or all have been cancelled, and the book was created in error.


In Asia-Pacific, "Trust Account" is standard; European customers use "Client Account". Client/Trust Accounting does not apply to North American customers. For more information, see our Glossary of Regional Terminology.
