Check payments may be accepted via the Billing module, or on an individual contact Billing tab.

From the Billing Sales/Invoices tab.
Click the Enter Check icon in the Actions list.
Payment From: This will display the name of the contact to whom the invoice was sent. You may change this if necessary.
Payment Date: This will display the current date. You may change this at initial creation of payment, however, once the payment is saved you will not be able to change the date.
Check Number: Enter the check number as a reference.
Amount: The invoice against which you wish to apply payment is automatically selected and the full amount of the invoice will be displayed by default. You can select additional invoices, and the system will total those invoices. You may also change the amount if needed. NOTE: If you have enabled Allow Partial Payments, you will be able to over-ride the amount of the invoice and pay more or less. When a partial payment is received, the payment will be applied to the largest item first. See Prevent Members from Making Partial Payments

Email Payment Receipt: This option is selected by default, and will send the automated Invoice Payment Received email to the contact. This is only sent if the payment is applied an invoice, it will not be sent for an overpayment.
Click Done.
