CenterPoint Accounting - Managing Your Forms as you Move to CenterPoint

Document #: 3107 Product: CenterPoint®

 

As you prepare to move to one of our CenterPoint programs, it’s a good idea to check your existing forms (checks, invoices, etc.) to verify that they will or will not work in CenterPoint. Below we have listed the forms found in our legacy

products and other products that data can be transferred from and noted if they will or will not work in CenterPoint. You’ll find that some will work with CenterPoint but may not be perfectly aligned, so we recommend that you either purchase the Check Form Designer to align the forms or order new forms. Follow the Print Sample Forms section in this document with the listed menu selections to print a test on your forms to see if the alignment is acceptable to you. If you need to order new forms, we recommend Computer Forms Incorporated for Red Wing Software forms. They can supply laser checks, invoices, statements, deposit slips, envelopes, and other business forms. To order, simply open CenterPoint and select Help > Order Checks & Forms or click here.
