Bills paid through electronic draft

For all practical purposes a draft is identical to a check. Record it as a check, enter something non-numeric such as "EFT" for the check number.

Pay as though it is a check, but change the check number to something such as EFT or Debit.

Or just leave the number field blank.

The only problem with "blank" is that QB may auto-fill it when you're not paying attention.

With the only exception being a memorized, auto-entry, check QB has never filled a blank I created.

Or use the "confirmation number" in either the cheque number or memo field. They are usually unique. Since 1997 at the same bank, I have YET to get the same confirmation number.
