The Check Pattern module is used to register and manage the serial number ranges of the company's physical checkbooks or giro slips. By registering the starting and ending numbers of each checkbook, the system can track and use the check numbers sequentially when processing payment transactions, ensuring that no number is skipped or used twice.
1. Main View (List of Check Pattern Groups)
The main page displays a list of the pattern groups that have been created. Each group typically represents a single checkbook or a specific bank account.

Action Buttons:

2. Add Check Pattern Page
This page is used to define the range of valid check numbers within a group.

3. Steps to Create a New Check Pattern
From the main page, click the New button.
On the Add page, fill in the PatternGroup name (e.g., the bank name and account number).
Select the appropriate bank Account from the dropdown.
In the table section, enter a PatternCode (if necessary), then fill in the StartingNo and EndingNo according to the serial numbers printed on the physical checkbook.
Ensure the Active box is checked so that this number range can be used.
Click Save.
4. Integrated Workflow & Business Process
When the finance department issues a payment using a check or giro via the payment module, the system will automatically retrieve the next available check number from the range defined in this module.
The system will ensure that the check number used is valid (within the StartingNo and EndingNo range) and has not been used before.
This creates a strong audit trail, simplifies the bank reconciliation process, and enhances control over cash disbursements made via check/giro.
5. Tips & Important Notes
It is crucial to enter the StartingNo and EndingNo accurately, matching the physical checkbook to avoid recording errors.
Every new checkbook received from the bank must be promptly registered in this module before it is used for any transactions.
This module is a critical part of cash management and is generally managed strictly by the finance or accounting team.
