Built-in Cheque Management for Post-Dated Cheques (PDCs)

ERPNext Feature Requests
1

Problem Statement:
ERPNext lacks native support for managing cheques, especially PDCs common in UAE businesses. In my F&B and textile wholesale operations, we handle many PDCs, but tracking issuance, due dates, and status requires custom spreadsheets or third-party tools.

Proposed Feature:
Add a “Cheque Management” module or integration in Accounting, with fields for cheque number, issue date, due date, bank, status (e.g., pending, cleared, bounced), and linking to payments/invoices. Include reminders for due dates and reports for PDC tracking.

Benefits/Use Case:
Streamlines operations for companies relying on cheques, like in Dubai’s business environment. Automates reminders to reduce bounced cheque risks and improves cash flow visibility.

Yes, advanced checkes aka post-dated cheques are part of daily work routine and in these cases the invoice should show “Paid” but the value should not be discounted from the bank account.

I have asked for something similar and the workaround i got was mark the posting date to the date of the cheque. This way you can mark the invoice as paid but it won’t hit the account till the later date. Basically the account movement is done its just post-dated.
