What happens if your credit union has to cut ?& mail a physical check 
for a payee that does not accept ACH transmitted electronic payments? 
The paper check indeed DOES have a check number assigned, which shows up 
in the DOWNLOADED PAYEE field when I accept the cleared payment.  I 
don't ever need to manually write it in the CHECK # field in the 
register, but indeed it does still exist in these cases.

When I enter these payments in my register when I tell the CU to make 
the payment, I simply record the check # as 'BILLPAY' regardless of 
whether the CU (or their agent such as CHECKFREE that I believe they 
use) goes ACH or physical.  I don't know how they do it, nor do I care 
unless I really get into the weeds and see how my payee is set up in 
their system.
