About Clearing Checks Electronically
The American National Standards Institute standard facilitates the conversion of checks to electronic images so that they can be cleared electronically. Accounts Receivable lets you print ANSI-compliant refund checks for the US and Canada.
The ANSI format has a slightly different layout from other printed forms, as follows:
- The date is printed in one of the formats DDMMYYYY, MMDDYYYY, YYYYMMDD, depending on your windows setup.
- The currency code and currency symbol (for example, $) is printed before the check amount, depending on the currency setup in Common Services.
- The text version of the amount prints "Dollars."
