Check information

[Former Member]

In practical scenario, the check printing is the job of a bank. It is the bank which prints the checks and provides it to the companies for its use. How is it that in the payment program, the company code can print the checks and issue it to the vendor. Would the bank accept such checks and honor it?

Kindly help, Please correct if you feel that my understanding is incorrect?

Thanks

Hi

The company can issue checks to the vendor related to one bank in a pre printed format.

For this the company has to follow the below procedure:

1) Design the cheques

2) Get cheque format approval from the respective bank ( as per their suggestions you have to use)

3) Get them printed

4) Issue the cheques for regular payments(vendors/employees, customers or for Government also)

Hope this will solve your problem

The company code can not print the checks and issue it to the vendor.

As far as I know, they are always issued by the Bank, and only filled in by the companies.

If the bank issues a paper specifically for printing it can be done but you have to customize a program to cater the printing of the cheque where it will pick all the necessary data from PAYR table. the slight tricky part is the exact measurement within the check.

Hi Satya,

That really depends on the market you are at. Sometimes, paying with Check within SAP will not create any DME file, and will be used only for posting reasons, where the check (physical paper), issued by the bank, will be filled in by the company (manually or using an appropriate printer).

I'm not aware about checks issued by the own company. As far as I know, they are always issued by the Bank, and only filled in by the companies.

Tks
