FAQ's
Who do I contact if I have questions concerning checks?
Email ControlDesk@uky.edu or call (859) 257-8889.
How long must I wait before a stop payment can be placed on a check?
Generally, if the vendor name and address on the check are correct, a stop payment cannot be placed on the check until 10 business days have passed. This delay gives the vendor ample time to receive the check through the mail.
For questions concerning checks with incorrect vendor names or addresses or any other questions about stop payments, please email ControlDesk@uky.edu or call (859) 257-8889.
What should I do if a vendor says they didn't receive a check?
Verify that the check has been issued using one of the following transactions. Note the date of the check, the check number, and the amount.
- Search for payment by vendor name:
- FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) – Search for vendor number information by name and review payments made to the vendor for any selected time frame.
- FK10N (Vendor Balance Display) – Search for vendor number by name and review payments made to the vendor by fiscal year.
- Search for payment by invoice number or PRD number:
- FB03 (Display Document) – Search for vendor payments using the invoice number or assigned document number.
- Search for payment by cost object:
- KSB1 (Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers) – Search for vendor payments made against a cost center for any selected time frame.
- S_PLN_16000269 (Grants Management: Line Item Display) – Search for vendor payments made against a WBS element for any selected time frame.
- FMRP_RFFMEP1AX (Document Journal) – Search for vendor payments made against any cost object for any selected time frame.
If the check has been issued, email ControlDesk@uky.edu to verify that the check is outstanding, to obtain a copy of the paid check, or to place a stop payment on the check.
If the check has not been issued, contact the appropriate Accounts Payable Services personnel.
Why is a check showing as void on my BW reports/detail transaction reports?
This could happen for several reasons including, but not limited to, the following: a stop payment may have been requested, duplicate checks may have been issued, or two vendor payments may have been combined in error into one check. Email ControlDesk@uky.edu with specific questions.
