Checks are payment instruments that are used to pay vendors. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations provides check design and generation. The checks are assigned to bank accounts and then used in the vendor payment journal. The following diagram illustrates the check elements:

In order to create and design checks, navigate to Cash and bank management | Bank accounts | Bank accounts and then move to the Setup tab and Layout. In the Check layout form, identify the following:
