post dated checks

It's definitely important to automate the printing of post-dated checks, Jacob. Let me share a different method to do this.

As of the moment, the feature to automate the printing of post-dated checks in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is unavailable. The other option is to create an automatic recurring post-dated check and then memorize it. But since this option doesn't work with you, I'd suggest using a third-party app or service that integrates with QBDT to achieve your goal.

Here's how:

1. Access this link: https://desktop.apps.com/home.
2. Find the application in the search field and hit the Search button.
3. Follow the on-screen steps on integration.

In addition, you'll want make sure your personal data is secure before allowing an application to access your company file. Feel free to browse this article for more information.

Drop a comment below if you have follow-up questions or clarifications about the integration process. I'm always available to help.

RE: "if I memorize transaction it will only post when date occurs."

You can create a memorized recurring transaction that will create checks in the future.

To do this, create the memorized check, choose the option to automatically record, enter the first date for the next check and the period (I'll guess monthly), the total number of checks (50 in your example) and then in the days in advance to enter field, enter 999 (the largest number allowed). Then restart QuickBooks and let it record the checks. These steps will create about 33 monthly checks, each month into the future. 

A way to get it to create more checks is to close the company file, set your computer's date a couple of years into the future, and then open the company file.

Notably, it is unusual to create checks like this all up front instead of waiting until they're due. I've never heard of anyone doing it before.  Why do you do this?
