Spoil Checks

There are several scenarios that can result in what appears to be a gap in check number sequencing on the check register, such as:

  • Check that did not print successfully
  • Damaged check stock
  • Mis-numbered checks where the pre-printed check stock and the check number in MIP did not match
  • Overflow forms where information for one check is printed on multiple pages

Note: Spoiling checks in MIP Cloud does not record transactions in the General Ledger or Bank Reconciliation. This form records check numbers not to use and the reason why. Consider retaining spoiled checks in a secure area for auditing purposes.
