Post-dated cheques, tracked from hand-over to clearing

Rent, suppliers and big customers in the UAE still pay by post-dated cheque. Dreambooks keeps every cheque you receive or issue in one register, shows what falls due this week, and posts each step through post-dated cheque accounts, so the bank only moves when the cheque clears. It's on every plan, Lite included.

Post-dated cheques

Record a cheque, settle the invoices

Recording a customer's cheque posts its receipt to post-dated cheques received and pays the invoices you pick, or the oldest open ones. A cheque you issue pays the vendor's bills through post-dated cheques issued, and goes through payment approvals when it is over the limit.

Record a cheque, settle the invoices

Received and issued cheques in one register

Bank, Cheques lists every cheque with its number, bank, date, amount, status and the invoices or bills it pays. Tiles show cheques past their date, due within 7 days, due in 8 to 30 days, due later and already at the bank, and a click filters the list. Export it to Excel whenever you need.

Deposit, clear, bounce or replace

Mark a cheque deposited, then clear it when the bank pays and the money moves to the bank account. If it bounces, the receipt is reversed and the invoices open again. Record the replacement cheque and it pays the same documents first.

Books that match the bank

Because cheques wait in their own accounts until they clear, the bank balance in Dreambooks matches the statement and bank reconciliation stays simple. Customer and vendor balances are right from the day the cheque changes hands.
