The difference between “Bill Payment Print” and the print options available for checks in the “Prints and Forms” section of NetSuite primarily relates to their purpose and the type of document being printed.
Bill Payment Print
- Purpose: This print option is typically used to create documents related to vendor bill payments. It may include details about the payment made against a specific bill, such as invoice numbers, payment amounts, and any relevant notes.
- Format: The layout may resemble a payment remittance or a notification to the vendor, rather than a physical check.
- Usage: It’s useful for record-keeping and communication with vendors, showing them what bills have been paid and what payment methods were used.
Check Print
- Purpose: The check print option is specifically for generating physical checks that can be issued to vendors or employees. It includes the actual payment amount and details necessary for the check to be processed by a bank.
- Format: The format is designed to align with physical check stock, including fields like payee name, payment amount, check number, and signature lines.
- Usage: This is used for actual payment transactions, enabling businesses to pay vendors or employees directly via check.
