Hello,

Does anyone use Checks in IFS? We used to handle all of our checks in our previous ERP but when trying to incorporate them in IFS, we can print some off using the Laser Check printing operational report, but this report doesn’t handle Routing numbers, account numbers, etc, basically most of the fields that are important when dealing with checks. 

We are considering using Check Docs, but we wanted to see if anyone using IFS handled their checks differently. We’d like to find the best way to handle our checks, so if anyone has any input, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

We have considered modifying the laser check printing report to include routing and account numbers, but we don’t have any way to modify the backend so we can link tables together in crystal reports.

As we were having big problems (and did not succeed) in finding a MICR font that works with IFS, we switched to using Crystal Reports as a 3rd party solution to print the laser check report. 

Next issue to solve is to print multiple checks in one go.

We have check stock that we insert in the printer and print the report onto the check stock. The check stock we order from a vendor and it has the information we would struggle to get onto a report. We had to slightly modify the report output and it works just fine on a full check run.

 

We’ve done this out of APPS10 and 22R2

Has anyone found a way to have the checks in IFS print with a signature?

Hi @lemant 

You can use an image object in either the report definition or crystal report file (if you use crystal reports). We ended up using a pre-printed check format but we have a layout report file that prints the basic check information ontop of the pre-printed checks, so we get one fully completed check in the end. We were going to use a pre-printed signature for that, but we decided not to in the end. Either way, it’s definitely something you can do.

Thanks,
Bryan
