Argus allows the addition of manual checks. Like all accounts payable transactions this one too starts from the Vendor View of the Argus main screen:
Double click on the right mouse button on the vendor for whom a manual check is to be entered. This pops up the accounts payable transaction menu. Select Manual Checks from this menu.
This brings up the Manual Check List screen. From here manual checks can be Added, Changed, Deleted and Posted. Any existing manual checks will show up on the control list.

Date: The date of the manual check.
Check #: The check number of the manual check. Argus will give you the next available check number for the bank selected for this vendor -- this can be overridden.
Client/Matter group box: If this was a hard expense for a client enter the client/matter information for whom this expense is being incurred. Choose the expense code for this expense.
General Ledger group: Allows the selection of the expense distribution information, if no client/matter information is selected.

The expense distribution may be divided between multiple expense accounts by using the browse button, selecting an account, entering an amount and pressing the Add button. This will add the line item to the control list -- where it me be altered or deleted by double clicking on it or selecting it and pressing the Delete button.
