Re: Checkbook application

[<nea...@nz...>]

Hi Dieter

From my experiences with windows accounting packages, I would suggest you
make the focus of the cheque writing
capability be more towards sending electronic payments rather than printing
paper cheques.

In New Zealand all banks now have this facility and it is cheaper for
the banks to have their customers punching payments.
(The unfortunate but probably unavoidable consequence of this, is that
banks are closing their branch offices
and retreating to locations in the centre of the larger cities.)

Some banks operate this process via their web-sites, but my preference
(given my conservative accounting background)
is to run the bank software locally on a client PC and send payment batches
over a telephone connection.

I presume that this technology is already used in the rest of the world?

Regards and keep up the good work

Multiple payments will be added for version 1.8 This ties in with check
printing, although the actual printing of checks has not been resolved
yet, I'll probably opt for pdf to print checks.

The way it will work is that you enter payments the way you do now with
previous entries blocked. You then enter an amount, date and optionally a
check number or let SQL-Ledger generate the number. You can also use same
check number for more than one open invoice. When you process the payments
I'll generate a report for now for the *check run* until I find something
suitable for check printing.
