How to: Set Up a Stale Check
A check is considered to be stale after it has expired. Each bank has a specific period during which checks are considered to be valid. This period usually lasts three months or six months. If a check is not presented for payment within the specified period, it is considered to be stale.
To set up a stale check
In the Search box, enter Bank Accounts, and then choose the related link.
Select the required bank account, and in the Actions tab, in the General group, choose Edit.
On the Posting FastTab, in the Stale Cheque Stipulated Period field, enter the period during which the check is considered to be valid.
Note
The Stale Cheque Stipulated Period field does not accept negative values or decimal values. The date formula entered in this field should include a time unit from the following options: D (Day), WD (Work Date), W (Week), M (Month), Q (Quarter), and Y (Year).
Choose the OK button.
