Bounced Checks

2 min. readlast update: 11.19.2025

In order to track bounced checks, you will need to set up two inventory items - one called Bounced check and one call Bounced Check Fee.  

 

Click on File, Inventory.  Click on the Categories bubble.  

 

If you want to track these two items on the sales report together, you just need to create one category.  If you want to track them separately, you will need to create a separate category for each.  For our example, we'll create one Category called Bounced check.  

 

Hit new, enter the name and hit Save when done.

Now you are ready to add these to the invoice.  Go to Accounting, Invoices and open the invoice.

 

In the next blank line, add the Bounced Check item from the drop down. Make the EACH column the amount they paid.  For our example, we have a $50 invoice, so my Bounced Check item will be $50.  I'm also going to charge them $35 for the bounced check fee, so I will choose that item from the drop down and enter the amount in the EACH column.  This invoice now has a total due of $85 - $50 for the original check and $35 for the bounced check fee.
