RE: IFM - UK Check Format

["Greg Novak" <gnovak@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Momentum Utilities offers a forms package, called JacanaForms, that can
manage the two different styles of check (or cheque) printing.  A decision
can be made on the address of the check for which format to apply.  Will you
be producing the checks in the British Pound currency?  If so, IFM should
handle the written amount text properly.  Date (re)formatting can be handled
along with the variations in the layouts as needed.

Momentum is the developer of JacanaForms and has resources in the UK that
can assist with the details of developing the UK format.

For more information, please contact me off list.

Regards,
-Greg

Subject: IFM - UK Check Format



Hello. We have a requirement to print checks for both the US and the UK.

Currently, we only print for the US.

The UK format appears to be a lot different both in the layout and the way
words are spelled for the amount on the check (e.g. One hundred and seventy
five pounds and forty five pence only . Also, the words for the amount are
written on 2 lines. Another change is the date needs to be dd month yy (21
March 05)

I haven't been able to find anything on the archives and mapics says we will
need to modify UAH3PFR ourselves because of all the UK variations(?).
Thank you in advance for any advice of assistance you can give on this.
