## View Check Numbers

After creating a check payment, you can view the posted Check Numbers in two main places:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
### Check Ledger Entries

Search for **Check Ledger Entries**. This page shows the posted check numbers, along with the vendor, date, bank account, and amount, *after* the payment has passed validation.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
### General Ledger Entries

You can also view the check numbers in the **General Ledger Entries**. 

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/MM6nC_bKbIkwCRqiFZqEu/YAjEFLTd9KKMGcXMAOByW_screen-shot-2022-12-08-at-10052-pm.png" size="80" width="1200" height="342" caption="View Check No. " position="center" showCaption="true"}

To view the Check Number, search **General Ledger Entries**. If the correct options are enabled, the Check Number will be added to the General Ledger when the payment has passed the validation step.
