[GNC] how to handle temporary desk checks

[R. Victor Klassen]

This is not really a GnuCash problem - as far as the program is concerned, you can have as many instances of 1111 as you like.  So it depends on how you use the number.  If you write a, b, c etc beside the number when they get used, and you either get them or their images returned, you can match them up when you reconcile.  If you rely on the bank to report the number either online or on a statement, it will use whatever is in the MICR, and you can’t change that.  But as far as the software is concerned, it doesn’t matter.
