I like to record my checks written on the day they were written, not cashed, but am frustrated that then I cannot check when they cleared!
Well technically should be recorded when delivered, with delivered meaning "constructively delivered" << when you mail them >> You should NOT be tracking "float". Legally that money isn't yours any more even though sitting in your bank account until the check clears. The reason that just WRITING the check (that date) has no meaning is until you send it, could just change your mind and rip it up. But as many do, I use the date written even though might not be be immediately picked up by the PO << say I put in the mailbox after collection on Saturday and Monday is a Federal holiday -- won't get postmarked till Tuesday at the earliest -- the postmark date has legal significance >>
