Check Register - Set check defaults by bank account
Ability to set a default check style per bank account.
On the operating account the check stock has the check on the top, on the payroll account, the check stock has the check in the middle, and on the sales tax account, the check stock has the check on the bottom. Three separate checking accounts, three separate styles.
It would be nice to have a setting where you can say, "if a check is generated from the operating account, apply the operating account style."

This is a practical feature request because businesses managing multiple bank accounts often use different check stock layouts for operational efficiency and compliance. Allowing users to assign a default check style based on a specific bank account would reduce repetitive manual adjustments, minimize printing errors, and streamline accounting workflows. It would create a more automated experience where operating, payroll, and sales tax accounts automatically apply their designated check format during check generation. Similar to how organizations automate validation processes such as ORUS TIN Verification https://orus.ph/tin-verification/ for improving accuracy and reducing manual work, applying account-based default settings could improve productivity and simplify day-to-day financial management.

Yes - I just learned of this issue. I have two checking accounts. The Check styles have the Routing Number and Account hard coded. So a check I wrote from one account came out of the other account. Big time flaw in XERO. If a check has a hard coded account, it should be tied to a single account and not be able to be used by other accounts. Xero - please fix this huge bug!
