new specifications for printing checks

Sep 28, 2005 1 Replies

The Canadian Payments Association (CPA) has published new specifications for Canadian cheques in preparation for the transition to image-based clearing.



A key change is the adoption of a numeric date field in one of three specified formats (YYYYMMDD, MMDDYYYY or DDMMYYYY).



Field indicators must be printed below the date field to indicate which format is being used. Bilingual date field indicators are accommodated for cheques using the ISO date format (YYYYMMDD);



i.e. no spaces, and numeric only.



How can this be done in Peachtree?



What's happening in the United States?


Hmmmm ... what a snafu for printing cheques (checks) ............
