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."
