When you enter a vendor number in the Vendor box, Sage 100 Contractor increases the T5018 balance by the total amount of the cheque.

When entering a bank charge, use the bank’s transaction number as the cheque number. You can also use a dummy number that is outside the cheque number range, such as 99999, for all bank charges.
