Basic/Pro Notes

- Whether or not checks should be accepted from a given customer is recorded in the Accept Checks field on the customers record. If check is selected as the payment method and the customer's record indicates that checks should not be accepted, you are alerted.

- An employee with sufficient security rights can override a customers Do not Accept Checks setting and accept a check anyway. An employee that does not have security rights to do so cannot accept a check as payment from such a customer, but an employee with override rights can log in over the first employee and accept the check at their discretion. (Refer to Employees and Security for more information about setting security rights.)
