Printed Date vs. Check Date

  • Printed Date: Populated with the date that the check was printed if the Mark as Printed checkbox was selected.
  • Note: This does not indicate that a physical copy of the check was printed. Once the check is marked as printed, the System considers the check printed regardless of what occurs next.
  • Check Date: The date of the Refund as printed on the check.
  • Note: This field will only be populated if it is entered manually. Do not enter a date in this field if you do not want the Check Date to print on the Refund Check.
