Changing check number in Bill Pay

deaconjon

Because I have several accounts from which I pay bills, I am getting duplicate and triplicate check numbers. How can the starting check number be changed. When I first started using Quicken Bill Pay, all checks from each account started with 90101. So, if I have 3 different accounts, I have 3 checks with the number 90101. I would have liked to have the different accounts begin with different numbers. E.g., 70101, 80101, 90101.

Hello @deaconjon,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your question.

After doing some digging, the only place I found where the first check number can be changed is in the Print Checks view (see below).

What you suggested is fine for printing your own checks. However, my issue is with Quicken Check pay. For some unknown and strange reason, when Quicken check pay is commenced, the first check number assigned by check pay is 90101 in any AND all accounts in which check pay is being used. I may have already been using my own personal checks in the subject account having numbers beginning with 90100 which would result in duplicate check numbers. I want to be able to assign a starting check number for each of the accounts in which I am using Quicken check pay. Currently, that is not an option!!!
