Re: ACP Check Printing Problem

The best way is to print the checks first.    Then you know what numbers 
were used.      Then come back to the BPCS screen and enter the check 
numbers.    The checks are already spooled before you enter the check 
numbers.

Subject
[BPCS-L] ACP Check Printing Problem






   As I understand the process, before printing on checks whose check #s 
are
   pre-printed on the check stock, our accounting lady tells BPCS what 
check
   # range will be used to pay what vendors, then if everything works
   perfectly, the data on the printed checks agrees with the data in BPCS.

   But sometimes she has a printing problem, leading to the check #s that 
got
   printed on, being say a few digits after what BPCS thinks they are. 
   Apparently how she has been dealing with this is to scribble on the 
BPCS
   print-outs what check #s end up as, with the data in BPCS never being
   corrected.

   This way of handling things was apparently acceptable until a change in
   management, and the need to send copies of some of our BPCS data to
   another system that would appreciate getting correct data.

   How do other companies deal with this scenario?
   Do you void the whole run & start over?  Does BPCS support start over,
   without a big hassle?
   Is there some program option we have overlooked where we can tell BPCS 
...
   all the checks from 45321 onwards dated today need to be incremented by 
2.

   If I have to go in there with DFU and muck with the check #s, is there 
a
   list of files affected?

   We are on 405 CD.
