CheckCash

Attempts to redeem a Check object in the ledger to receive up to the amount authorized by the corresponding CheckCreate transaction. Only the Destination address of a Check can cash it with a CheckCash transaction. Cashing a check this way is similar to executing a Payment initiated by the destination.

Since the funds for a check are not guaranteed, redeeming a Check can fail because the sender does not have a high enough balance or because there is not enough liquidity to deliver the funds. If this happens, the Check remains in the ledger and the destination can try to cash it again later, or for a different amount.

CheckCash Fields

In addition to the common fields, CheckCash transactions use the following fields:

Field	JSON Type	Internal Type	Description
`CheckID`	String	Hash256	The ID of the Check ledger object to cash, as a 64-character hexadecimal string.
`Amount`	Currency Amount	Amount	(Optional) Redeem the Check for exactly this amount, if possible. The currency must match that of the `SendMax` of the corresponding CheckCreate transaction. You must provide either this field or `DeliverMin`.
`DeliverMin`	Currency Amount	Amount	(Optional) Redeem the Check for at least this amount and for as much as possible. The currency must match that of the `SendMax` of the corresponding CheckCreate transaction. You must provide either this field or `Amount`.

The transaction must include either Amount or DeliverMin, but not both.

Error Cases

If the sender of the CheckCash transaction is not the Destination of the check, the transaction fails with the result code tecNO_PERMISSION.
If the Check identified by the CheckID field does not exist, the transaction fails with the result tecNO_ENTRY.
If the Check identified by the CheckID field has already expired, the transaction fails with the result tecEXPIRED.
If the destination of the Check has the RequireDest flag enabled but the Check, as created, does not have a destination tag, the transaction fails with the result code tecDST_TAG_NEEDED.
If the transaction specifies both Amount and DeliverMin, or omits both, the transaction fails with the result temMALFORMED.
If the Amount or DeliverMin does not match the currency (and issuer, if not XRP) of the Check, the transaction fails with the result temBAD_CURRENCY.
