- | ===== iDocs Journaling and Audit Trail ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | iDocs contains controls to track who created checks, the day and time that the checks were created and the work station used to create them. For an accounting manager, this information is useful to flag potential anomalies in instances where the same check was created twice. For this reason the journal feature is included as apart of iChecks and needs to be both enabled and configured. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ==== Enable Check Journaling ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Selecting option **30** from the utility menu generates the following configuration screen. | + | |

- | ===== iDocs Manual Checks ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ==== Generate a Manual Payroll Check ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Option **40** Enables a manual payroll check to be produced on the fly outside the accounting system. Information entered here needs be reentered for tracking purposes. That said, this enables a user to quickly generate an on-the-fly check containing values not only for the net amount of the check, but also for the check receipt. The receipt lists all of the current and year to date information necessary to closely mirror the same information that would appear on a regularly scheduled check receipt. | + | |
- | + | ||

- | Option **42** enables a spooled file to be created with check numbers generated on each page for the range specified. Once the intermediate spooled file is created, the spooled file is merged with the iCheck Application and the bank file specified from the command. Amounts are not prompted for as this command acts only to print blank checks themselves. | + | |

- | Note: The check number must be mapped from the BLANKCHECK spool file in the FMGMICR output queue. (Row 1 columns 12-21) \\ | + | |
- | * **Bank Definition** is normally the same as the Form Application and this is what provides the Bank routing and MICR information for the check.\\ | + | |

- | __Upon execution, **2** entries are created: | + | |
- | 1. A raw spool file BLANKCHECK is created in the FMGMICR/FMG output queue. | + | |
- | It contains 1 page for each of the check numbers generated. | + | |
- | i.e. In the example shown below, the spool file BLANKCHECK in the FMG/FMGMICR output queue is 2 pages. | + | |

- | ==== Generate a Manual AP Check ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Option **43** enables a user to generate generic check information for accounts payable checks for as many entries specified. Choosing this item displays a blank slate entry for from which the user may enter in the check information in a free style format. Once entered, a properly configured accounts payable check application that maps correctly the relevant check fields will produce the desired checks. | + | |
