The cheques are displayed in numerical order, by date. In the **9. SYSTEM UTILITIES à 3. SYSTEM SETUP à 2. Accounts payable à 1. SYSTEM PARAMETERS**, the field called **default cancel** will control whether the cheques are automatically cleared or not. If the **default cancel** is set to \[**y**\], then all cheques will be marked as cleared. Should any cheque listed remain outstanding, enter the line number associated with the cheque number and change the cancel flag to \[**n**\]. If the **default cancel** field in the **parameter file** have been set to \[**y**\], then the opposite will apply. When exiting the program use F2 (reject) F1 (to accept), E (to exit) or Q (for quit). The system now asks to update cheques? (Y/N). The default is “Y” unless F2 (reject) is used then the default is “N”.
