Management of check books
Check book management involves tracking the books issued by a bank, with details such as book number, associated bank, total number of checks, number used, number available, and total transaction amount. This feature allows you to add new books, update existing information (for example, marking checks as used), and delete obsolete books. It is particularly useful for accounting, cash management and audits.
Adding a new check book
Adding a check book involves creating a new entry in the system, with details like book number, associated bank, bank account, total number of checks, and other relevant information. This functionality allows users, such as accountants or financial managers, to maintain an up-to-date database, facilitating cash management and audits. The interface includes a structured form to capture this information, with required and optional fields.
To add a new checkbook, it seems you need to click the "+" button in the "Checkbooks" interface.
This will open a form where you can enter details like bank, bank account and number of checks.

The form includes fields like:
- Designation: Enter a name or label.

Edit a checkbook
Check book management is crucial for businesses, particularly for tracking check usage, managing available inventory and ensuring transaction traceability. Editing a check book allows you to adjust information such as number, date, status, or other details, in response to errors, updates, or operational changes. This feature is particularly useful for accountants or financial managers wishing to maintain an up-to-date database.
Next to the identifier an icon consisting of three vertical dots (⋮) is visible, often called "more options". Clicking on this icon opens a drop-down menu, as shown in the image. This menu contains three options:
- To consult(with a magnifying glass icon): Allows you to view details without modification.
