Verifying Check Processors for Branches

Set up an electronic check verification system for a branch to automatically verify the authenticity of a check when it is accepted at that branch. Information required for authorization is drawn from the Check Verification:Required Information control maintenance record.

Before you begin auto-verifying checks, define the default check processor information on the Check Verification Processor Setup screen.

To verify check a processor for a branch:

1. From the Files > Branch menu, select Branch to display the Branch Maintenance screen.

2. Use the Check Verification hot key to display the Check Verification Branch Setup screen. If a check processor is assigned to this branch, this hot key is highlighted.

The Branch field is populated with the current branch ID, and the remaining fields are populated with the default information defined on the Check Verification Processor Setup screen.

3. In the Processor field, press F10 and select a processor for this branch.

4. In the Subscriber ID field, do one of the following:

• If a default subscriber ID is defined on the Check Verification Processor Setup screen for the processor, this field displays that ID.

• If no default subscriber is defined, enter the subscriber ID.

• If a default entry is displayed, but the branch has a unique subscriber ID, change the default ID to the branch's ID. Do not leave this field blank.

5. Ignore the Host ID and Service ID fields. Their functions are not active at this time.

6. To copy the branch setup information:

• From another branch to the displayed branch, use the Copy From Branch hot key.

• From the displayed branch to one or more other branches, use the Copy to Branch(es) hot key. When entering multiple branches, separate the branches with a comma.

7. Press Esc to save your settings and exit the screen.
