3rd Party Check Printing

We don't use a third party to print checks, but as far as pulling the file I set up a bat file called mhcprint.bat and placed it in %GENDIR%/bin directory I then set up the command in prtdef for the users to select for printing. The bat file below sends the output to a temp directory and then moves it to a share drive for them to input into MHC. You could probably go further and code it to encrypt it and ftp it.

[CODE] cat > D:\lawprod\temp\prtfile.%pid% move D:\lawprod\temp\prtfile.%pid% D:\data\acctpay\apcheck del D:\lawprod\temp\prtfile.%pid% exit [CODE]

Thanks JimY. That is something we will explore.

We use MHC for check print also. We have a service account setup to access the print folder on the lawson application server. On MHC side, they wrote a routine to check for "DOMAIN\user" (only accounts that are authorized to produce checks) print folder for check files.

The checks then have to go through multiple layers of human checking procedures before being released. Positive pay files are generated and sent to the bank before they could be cashed also.

Thanks Jimmy. Seems like MHC is the software of choice for check printing as it relates to lawson users.

We use Secure Check. MHC is just a bigger player and has more to offer. Secure Check is a whole lot cheaper. We used to use Bottomline's product called Paybase up until late last year.
