Answer 1

Using the "Receive Payments" function in QuickBooks is the first step. If you'd like to keep track of the actual paper check (doesn't seem necessary to me) you could copy and file them. If you want to get really fancy, you could use a plug in for QuickBooks that would allow you to scan the check in and attach an image of the check to the transaction in QuickBooks. Here's a link to the program:

Answer 2

I'm sorry, but why would you want to track their checks? You record the check number in quickbooks against the paid invoice. What's the point?

If it's returned, you'll have the check back, so no need to track. If it clears, you don't really need to track it, do you?

Answer 3

A three ring binder, with each customers name, go by letters. Like A, B, C, and so on. Cope each check and put it under each customers name file. For one year its should have only 12 copies or until one of the checks bounds.
