Using Special Characters in MICR Line in Dynamics AX 2009
Posted Thursday, May 14th, 2009
We were working with a client this week and getting the checks set-up in the Bank Module in Dynamics AX 2009. We spotted an error in the Help and wanted to post a correction.
The help section in for MICR line setup in the Bank module (Bank>> Bank Account Details>>Select a Bank Account>Setup Button>> Check Layout>> Code Tab) of MS Dynamics AX2009 states:
In this field, you should type the complete MICR line, including the delimiters. The check number cannot be typed, since it is unique to each check. Instead, the position is marked in the line with a special character sequence.
MICR characters:
· 0 – 9
Special characters (delimiters):
· A = ‘A’
· B = ‘B’
· C = ‘C’
· D = ‘D’
· Blank = Blank
The check number is marked in the MICR line with the character sequence %1. This is shown as %1 in the line.
HOWEVER:
Help omits to explain that the special characters are not the letters shown above but are rather specific delimiter MICR code characters, e.g. D is not ‘D’ as stated above but the MICR character for “dash” ( ). When searching for specific code characters enter capital letter A-D to determine the correct character to match the MICR code.
