Cheque Run Process
Introduction
After each show has finished and the results for the competition have been entered, the client may decide to perform a cheque run (not all shows do this as some pay out prize money in cash on the day e.g. Royal Bath & West).
The cheque run process is based on the following steps:
1. Set the starting cheque number
2. Review the cheques to be created (Showbiz should amalgamate the prizes and other payments per exhibitor)
3. Generate a report for reference
4. Determine cheque template for use
5. Create the cheques
6. Update the exhibitor accounts with the relevant transactions
Clients can choose to take into account any under or overpayments made by the exhibitor contact and take these into account when generating the cheques.
Cheques tend to be of two main types:
• Cheque only
• Cheque plus remittance (list of items for which the money is to be paid)
NB. Issues in the past with this process have included:
• Cheque run templates running out of space for all of the items listed in the remittance (i.e. don’t fit onto one page).
• An inability to limit the cheque run by heading or section.
Considerations
Before running the cheque run, the following considerations should be thought about:
• Database backup.
• Ensure that the client show has a copy of the report for reference.
• Perform a test run on blank paper.
