   2. Make sure the date on top is the date of the check this will make reconciling your bank account much easier. Also make sure the check number is correct.

   3. Type the name of the vendor in the Pay to the Order of field.
      i. for most new checks, Quickbooks will tell you that the vendor doesn’t exist, just click <quick add>

   4. Below, on the tab that says expenses, type in what the check was for:
      examples: Travel, Lodging Entertainment, etc.

   5. When finished, click <Save & Close> or <Save & New> if you need to enter another check.
