GENERATE CHECK FILE TO BANK#

Processing Information#

Positive Pay is the process of periodically sending a list (via transmission file) of all issued and voided checks. This information allows the bank to reject attempts to cash checks not issued by the sending agent.

This service is not provided by all US banks and is not always called ‘Positive Pay’, however if the intent is the same, then Wiki will provide the functionality through the Generate Check File To Bank (UPPOSPAY) form. Wiki does not support the numerous banks out there, but can accommodate the support of other banks if required.

Personality supports this feature with no set up needed by the client. The IDIF and IDFDV forms are NOT used by this function. Personality knows the format of the output file based on the bank selected on the report selection form in UPPOSPAY.

All checks that have been either issued or voided within the date range provided since the last time UPPOSPAY was executed are picked up and recorded in the output file.

Once UPPOSPAY is completed, the check record will be updated with the execution id of the UPPOSPAY run. The field is MEX_ID_SENT from the P2K_PR_CHECKS table.

All checks with a non-null MEX_ID_SENT will be bypassed on subsequent processing of the UPPOSPAY program.

Replacement checks as well as the associated void check are included.

Manual checks and manually voided checks are also included.

This function can be used to supply the bank with a list of issued checks if the bank is providing a reconciliation service.
