Type slowly I'm accounting challenged!  You do mean Payments - not
Receipts?

My thoughts were to use pdf or - when local machine software matures -
XML with the user providing the XSLT to match their checks.

                                      Bill? Vendor invoice?

So we're still needing the other checkbook functionality.  Cleared
transactions - from the statement, balance to date, notes/comments, etc.

Would there be a new table to handle this check stuff?  Check number,
date, to, notes/comments (Incoming check number/Invoice number), type
(check, deposit, reconciliation - possibly handled by the sign of the
amount), amount of check or deposit.
