What are the explanations for the Company Control GL/AP screen options in my Business Management Software (BMS) System?
When you enter the Company Control GL/AP level, the screen will appear as follows:
Control Explanations for Company Control GL/AP Screen:
Print Company Name on A/P Checks- this control only applies to the 3-up Laser version check print program. With this control set to “Y” for yes, the system will print your company name on Accounts Payable checks through that program. If you have pre-printed checks that already display your company name, you should leave this field set to “N” for no.
Print Vendor ID & Check # on A/P Checks- this control only applies to the 3-up Laser version check print program. With this control set to “Y” for yes, the system will print a Vendor ID and a check number on Accounts Payable checks through that program. If you have pre-numbered checks for use in that module, you should leave this field set to “N” for no. A second prompt will appear when you enter through this control as follows:
A/P 3up Laser Check Spacing- this control was added so that dealers using 3up Laser pre-printed checks could make adjustments to the print settings to accommodate different pre-printed check forms. There are four numbers currently set as the default: 1,3,4,1. Each represents spacing in a particular area of the check from top to bottom. The first number adjusts spacing between the bottom of the top stub and the beginning of the check header. The second number adjusts spacing between the last line of the payer address and the check amount line. The third number adjusts spacing between the check amount verbiage line and the first payee address line. The fourth number adjusts spacing between the last line of the payee address and the first line of the bottom check stub.
Use Canadian Compliant format- this control applies to Canadian BMS customers who would like to switch to a Canadian Check Date format. If this is the case, please set this control to “Y” for yes. Canadian banking regulations specify the placement and spacing of several items on the check. Answering "Y" to the "Display Date Format" question moves the check date to its own line and provides more white space between items to aid in machine optical reading of checks.
Use Graphical Bank Reconciliation- this control will force either the use of the Graphical Bank Reconciliation program by typing a “Y” for yes at this control, or the use of the older Text program by typing an “N” for no at this control.
MICR chks- Font location- this control only applies to customers using an MICR printer for check printing. It is preset and should only be changed upon consulting with a BMS Trainer or Support staff.
MICR chks- Print top stub- this control only applies to customers using an MICR printer for check printing. It is preset and should only be changed upon consulting with a BMS Trainer or Support staff.
