MYOB Cheque printing feature

Have you ever been asked by your customer to print your own payment cheque?

Yesterday, I delivered the MYOB Accounting v18 software to a client.  He asked me to install, and use the MYOB software to print my own cheque.   In fact this is the 2nd time I was asked to do it.  The users have heard about the cheque printing feature in MYOB and wanted a real life demo.

Yes, MYOB has a feature in the software that will allow you to enter the details of the payment, and then proceed to print the Payee Name, Date and Amount (in words and figures) onto the actual cheque which you can insert into the printer. 

A cheque writer will set you back Rm800 but with the MYOB software you get the feature for free. 

If you need more information, call your MYOB consultant.
