# Record a Customer Cheque

### How to Record a Customer Cheque in Muhasib ERP

### Overview

This guide will help you record a customer cheque with enough detail to track deposit, clearance, or return.

Muhasib records the cheque for customer and bank/cheque tracking; clearance status behavior depends on settings.

### Who can do this

You need access to Customer Cheque plus customer, payment, and bank-account.

### Before you start

Have the cheque number, bank, branch, cheque date, amount, customer, receiving account, reference, and physical-control details.
