The UAE cheque lifecycle, including post-dated cheques

What you will be able to do when you finish: say why a cheque waits in an interim account instead of landing straight in your bank balance, name the three interim accounts and the journal that records them, pick a clearing mode and avoid the double count the wrong habit causes, walk a received cheque from In Wallet to Cleared, deposit a post-dated cheque on the right day and know who may release it early, re-present a partially honoured cheque for its remaining balance, issue and void a cheque from a numbered checkbook leaf, and hold a guarantee cheque without posting a single journal entry.

Who this is for. You handle physical cheques for a company in the UAE — taking them from customers, writing them to suppliers, carrying them to the bank. This is an Intermediate course. It assumes you can read a journal entry and know what an interim account is for; it does not assume you configured this module or have ever opened its settings page.

How to follow along. Everything named here belongs to the module odoone_check_management, and every screen sits under the Cheques menu in Accounting. It depends only on the standard account app, and it needs the Python library num2words in your environment to spell amounts in words. Cheque printing and millimetre calibration are course 5.3, and this course stops where the ledger stops. One customer cheque runs through all ten lessons, from the morning it arrives to the day its last dirham clears.
