MICR on checks

emgeh · 2004-08-19

Hi,

We've had problems with the MICR check from day one, now the bank has finally been able to give me the reason. Seems like the transit field and the account number are not printed in the right position. Does anyone else use this feature and has gotten it to work? Or should I just go back to preprinted checks. Thanks for any help.

Hi

Have you or can you request a Template from the bank.

A few years ago i had to design Paying in slips, and had a template from the bank, to use for lining up/postioning the special/MICR fields, which had to be very precise.

is it really that much of a savings printing your own checks?
6000 pre-printed checks with your logo is only $300.00

I was wondering if the headache & time spent is really worth it?

Honestly. I guess not. But it was set up by the Navision reseller like this and now after 1 1/2 years the bank is starting to complain. The only part that is really easy when checks don't have the banking information is the check number. This way you don't have any mistakes made, where the check number and navisions check number don't match.
I was just wondering if anyone else had it working. Navision prints the check number, ABA and bank account number with the MICR font and as a setting in Navision I have:
C%1C A%2A%3C
with a space between 2nd 'C' and 1st 'A'.
The bank returned the checks with two errors
1. Transit field required to be in position (43-33)
2. The account number is required to be in position (32-19)
It's kind of weird that the bank account number is in the right place.
If it doesn't work I'll just have to get pre-printed checks.
Thanks.

well if you have to go down that road...

we use http://www.compuchecks.com/CheckBottom.htm

with no problems. they have all types of checks, we use check on the bottom.

I understand what you are saying , not having to worry that the navision check # matches the pre-printed check number.
But all I do is goto Payments->Print Check->Click the Option Tab to make sure the next check number is what i have in the printer.
Not that big of a deal.
