I found out that you can print a cheque for one dollar amount and post it into your financials for a completely different amount.  Sage 50 gives you no warning that you are posting a different amount than issued on the cheque.

I think you're right, it should trigger a similar warning to an unprinted cheque.  But it would be caught on reconciliation.

Or they could wire up a 'print and post' button on the Payments screen to do everything in one click.  (similar to what is on both the Purchase Invoice and Sale Invoice screens.)

It's also possible to open a past cheque and change the amount, delete it, etc.  It would show on the Cheque Log report, but the report is pretty primitive - you can't filter for duplicate items, it would be hard to spot for a print vs post mismatch even if I ran it every time, which I don't.

We haven't experienced that exact problem.  We've had three duplicate TelPay payments for exactly the right amount, paid twice.   (just re-printing the stub can trigger it)  and our vendors... just waited to see what would happen, so now we reconcile that, too.
