# Add & Manage bank cheques

Within Elorus you can track both incoming and outgoing cheques and create related payments, linked to invoices and bills. Cheques are divided into **Incoming** (when given to you by the client) and **Outgoing** (when you give it to a supplier).

          
          

To add and manage both incoming and outgoing cheques, go to the main menu and click **Settings > Add-ons > Install** to enable this feature.

For more information about **Add-ons**, please visit the [related page](/int/docs/add-ons-).

Once enabled, navigate to **...More > Incoming cheques & Outgoing cheques** to add and manage such records.

When **adding** a new check, the mandatory fields are:

- **Issue date**
- **Due date**
- **Amount**
- **Contact**

You can fill in additional info, such as the cheque's number, bank and location.

          
          

Any cheque (outgoing or incoming) must **always** be associated with a document of the **same currency**. Also, the exchange rate of the cheque is "locked" to the suggested exchange rate you set on the date of issue. For more information on multiple currencies and exchange rates, please visit this [article](/int/docs/multiple-currencies).

You can always monitor the status of your cheque and **edit** it in case it is canceled, paid, or bounced.

When a cheque associated with one or more invoices is **Paid**, **the corresponding cash flow transactions (Payments received or Payments sent)** will be automatically created.

To mark a cheque as **Paid**, you need to open it and click **Edit**. Change the due date to the current one and set the **status** to **Paid**.

Elorus will attempt to pay off the client's or supplier's outstanding invoices, starting off with those with the oldest issue date. This means that invoices that were **issued earlier** are the ones that are **paid first**.

If the cheque amount is greater than the total value of the invoices, then an excess amount will be created, which can be used for future payments.
