Restrict Users from Printing Checks


Removing the Checks permission from a role eliminates the user's access in entering checks through Transactions > Bank > Write Checks. However,  the user can still enter checks under the following paths as long as there is corresponding permission:

  • Transactions > Purchases/Vendors > Pay Bills (Pay Bills permission)
  • Transactions > Purchases/Vendors > Pay Single Vendor (Pay Bills permission)
  • Transactions > Customers > Issue Customer Refund (Customer Refund permission)
  • Transactions > Bank > Pay Sales Tax (Pay Sales Tax permission)
  • Transactions > Bank > Pay Payroll Liabilities (Payroll Liability Payments permission)

Removing the Checks permission does not restrict a user from printing checks through Transactions > Management > Print Checks and Forms (Enhancement 47146).

User can print checks depending on permissions granted:

  • Pay Bills permission:  Checks coming from Bill Payments
  • Pay Sales Tax permission: Checks coming from Sales Tax payments
  • Customer Refund permission:  Checks coming from Customer Refunds
  • Payroll Liability permission: Checks coming from payment of Payroll Liabilities


To completely restrict a user from printing all checks, the following permissions should also be removed from his role:

  • Pay Bills
  • Pay Sales Taxes
  • Payroll Liability Payments
  • Customer Refund


To edit the role, perform the following steps:

     1. Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.
     
     2. Edit the custom role.
     
     3. In the Permissions tab > Transactions subtab, locate the permissions and click Remove.
     
     4. Click Save.
