    Hi iosman1234 

     

    Cheques are made up of two forms : the cheque and the stub. The stub would show the summary of what's on the cheque and would have some pre-built fields according to the type of the transaction entered. 

     

    You can customise stub layouts by going to Setup--> Customise Forms and then Form Options.

     

     

    The various layouts are used for following purposes: 

     

    • Regular—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Spend Money window.
    • Payable (Not Basics)—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Pay Bills window.
    • Refund—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Settle Returns & Credits window.
    • Paycheque (Plus and Premier, Australia only)—This layout is assigned to cheques recorded in the Pay Employees window. 

    Therefore, if you have printed cheque for the payment made to a bill, the printed form would include all the extra fields from the Payable layout in addition to the fields you have in your customised cheque. The print alignment form would still print in a standard format without including all the stub layout fields. 

     

    In order to resolve it, I would recommend reviewing the different form options, and ensuring that you only have fields that you require in each form option.
