Check Printing by Banks

Has anyone integrated with a bank to have them print checks to pay vendors instead of printing directly from M3? Our bank offers this service and Finance team would like to use this. If I set up a payment type with a payment class of 3, I can generate a Sync.CreditTransfer BOD and send this to the bank but they will assign the check # and I don't know how to ingest that back into M3 so a user could see the invoices paid by a particular check.

It would be great if this could be written to APS250 but APS251MI only allows certain information categories to be used.

We are currently working on the Bank printing the checks project and using the current check file that is there and including a few more fields that the bank needs to create the check. The check numbers still generate from M3 .

we do that with 3 different banks/3 divisions and we use the normal check number from M3, this number is in the stream and the bank is using our file to print the checks (I do not think they print other numbers additionally, but maybe they do)

We are with Bank of America, we were with 53rd and we work with Bank of Canada.

I agree with Elisabetta.
This is the process I have used in the past as well for both US & European banks.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

We are On Prem 13.4.

If I use payment class 2, then M3 will produce APS141PF - are you using this file to send to the bank via streamserve or are you triggering an integration and retrieving data from APS300?

JP Morgan Chase have said they will generate their own numbers and cannot use our check number.

we are in Cloud now (but on premise before) we use APS130 to create payment proposal, when confirmed the output creates a Bod message to ION that generates a file that is saved on our server and then moved via script to the Bank portal. The bank prints the check. (and we do not care about the number printed on the check by the bank since there is anyway our "internal check number".

In APS300 i see the same check number listed in our payment proposal with our internal number.

feel free to contact me directly if you want to see more details elisabetta.venezia@pfaudler.com (i am on Teams)
