How to manage cheques in Vyapar

Cheques take days to clear, so Vyapar keeps them separate until you deposit them. That way your bank balance shows only money that has actually arrived, and you can see every pending cheque in one list.

4Deposit the cheque

When you bank it, click Deposit. Choose Deposit To (your bank account or cash), set the transfer date, add a note and click Save.

5Check the status

The status changes to Deposited to your account and the bank balance increases. If the cheque bounces, use Re-Open to undo the deposit.

Good to know

Enter post-dated cheques with their cheque date and deposit them on that date.
Check the Cheques list every morning for cheques due to deposit.
