Bank Accounts

Where check numbering starts, how it advances, and how to avoid duplicates.

Each bank account carries the next check number to issue. A print run takes its numbers from that value and advances it.

Set the starting number higher than any check you have already written on the account.
Used numbers are recorded, so the same number is not silently issued twice.
Reprints are recorded separately with a reason, so the trail stays accurate.
