Layout Customization Issues
Customizing check layouts to fit particular business needs presents still another typical difficulty. Not always include all required fields or match corporate branding, standard templates may not.
Through the Suite Builder tool, NetSuite lets users personalize check layouts. See Customizing > Forms > Transaction Forms to access and change layouts. Choose the standard check layout then add or remove fields, change placements, and include logos or branding elements using the form editor. Making sure the tailored layout satisfies all criteria can be achieved by extensive testing before complete application.
Print Alignment Problems and Quality
Print quality and alignment problems may produce checks that are difficult to read or handle, so causing possible bank rejections and payment delays.
Make sure your printer is kept correctly and that you use premium check stock to help to solve these problems. Print alignment settings of NetSuite allow one to guarantee proper alignment of printed checks. Visit Setup > Accounting > Printing Checks and adjust the alignment using the print test function. Frequent calibration of your printer can also help to preserve print quality.
Issues regarding security
Check printing heavily relies on security. Inadequate policies might let checks to be vulnerable to fraud and illegal access.
Several security tools offered by NetSuite help to improve check printing security. Use tamper-evident check stock and think about including holograms, microprinting, and watermarks. Make sure sensitive financial data is encrypted over distance and that only authorised staff have access to check printing capabilities. Frequent audits of check printing operations can help to find and reduce possible security hazards.
Handling Large Volumes

Batch processing—which NetSuite supports—can greatly simplify mass check printing. Under Customization > Workflows > New Workflow, set up batch processing systems to properly handle high volumes. This lets you automatically print checks depending on particular criteria, such payment terms or invoice approvals. Frequent review of batch processing logs can help to find and fix any problems right away.
Handling mistakes and troubleshooting
Significant disruptions can result from mistakes in check printing including payee details or amounts that are off.
One must start a strong error handling and troubleshooting program. Review the Audit Trail and System Notes under Transactions > Audit Trail in NetSuite to track changes and pinpoint mistakes’ source. Make sure there is a clear process for fixing mistakes, maybe including check voiding and reissuing. Additionally helping staff members to learn common error messages and their fixes helps to lower downtime and increase response times.
Working with Outside Third-Party Services
