AP Checks printed twice on different days

Good Morning Gurus-
I am stumped on this one. My client discovered that a payment run from a week before printed twice however cannot determine how when this happened. The original payment run happened on June 13 and we believe it reprinted over the weekend or on Monday because we got another batch of same checks. Our checks are printed offsite.
How can I research this because I see our spool from Friday but no duplicates since.
Thank you.

Multiple Charges. Twice on different days and one is pending with a Trial Fee

I have been charged not once, not twice, but three times for the month July. All charges were deducted on different days. It is impossible for my card to be charged for multiple accounts, for this is the only account I've created.

Check Printing on two Different pages

Hi all,
Is it possible to print one page PLD on two Different pages. Actually my client wants to print one PLD on two different pages, he wants that one page print the acknowledgement letter and then vendor name, amount, date, amounts in words should be printed on the checks.
With Regards,
Pankaj Sharma.

Hi Pankaj Sharma,
Check Printing PLD is hard coded in the system. I don't think you have any easy solutions for this. If you tried already, you must know it already.
Thanks,

Print Check-Copy (Non-Negotiable) after every check print

We are implementing Std. R12.0.6 AP Check Printing.
I've designed standard BI Publisher RTF to print the Check and Check-Copy without any issue.
My RTF Template has Check design on first page and Check-Copy (Non-Negotiable) on second page of RTF. Std. Conc. Prog. Payment program FORMAT PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS automaticlly will be printnig the Checks after paying the Vendor, there my RTF is being used for printing through PDF.
Issue is Both Check & Copy are by default getting printed from Tray#3. But the requirement is Check to be selected from Tray#2 and its Check-Copy should be selected from Tray#3.
Note: output PDF is NOT considering the Print setups made in RTF.
My question is:
(1) How can we Print Checks from (Check Stock) Tray#2 and Checks those Copies (which are Non-Negotiable) from
Tray#3

Hi,
Check printing is a different scenario in Oracle, since the concurrent program is launched as a part of the payment process.
If the concurrent program is submitted manually then we could have manipulated it by wrapping in a different program and then calling two different concurrent programs having its output from two different trays, but in check printing scenario we don't have a work around.
By modifying the seeded code you should be able to achieve this: [Non recommended solution]
     1. Create a wrapper program [call seeded check printing program (program 1) then a custom program (program 2), program 2 will print the non negotiable document ]
     2. In the seeded code modify the concurrent program call to your wrapper program call.
NOTE: EVERY TIME WHEN A PATCH IS APPLIED TO AP OR IBY modules, care should be take to reflect the custom change.
Hope it helps, Thanks!

SAP Script Check printing Layout, Line Items to display twice in First Page

Hi All,
This requirement is for US check printing Layout.
My Requirement is to display Items twice on the first page.
Eg : Main Window has 10 Items, I need to display all the Items at the bottom in another window at the bottom.
I can't create 2 Main windows in the first page, as the data from the Main window 1 overflows to Main window 2 in the first page.
I copied print program RFFOUS_C into a Z-version and try to implement the logic, however unable to print the line items in the bottom window.
Kindly give your valuable Inputs.
Thanks
Vinayak

Hi
I had the same request for a check form in Canada. I solved it by writing the line item output into variables and print these variables in a second window. It was ~10 hours of effort, not a real nice technical solution but it worked.
If you require I can send you a PDF of the sap script form definition. You can contact me at [email protected] Answers can take 1 week or more.
Best regards

AP Check Print: Same PDF O/P prints differently from Different Printers

hi ,
I am working on AP Check Printing. We are upgrading our system from 11i to R12.1.3.
I have developed the Check Template for a US Check, the PDF output generated from the "Format Payments Instructions" look good and prints perfectly onto one printer.
But when i print the same o/p to a different printer, it is cutting off all the edges.
I have verified that both the Printers use Universal Pasta Configuration & the same past_pdf.cfg file.
It has "Prepocess = pdftops - paper match {outfile} {infile}" as the command to convert PDF output file into a PS (Post Script).
I am able to reproduce the problem by printing the PS file from unix using the command "lp - d <printername> <PS File Name>".
Please advice ASAP, this is a BLOCKER issue for us and need to solve this at the earliest.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Thanks a bunch for your quick response.
In order to check the driver, i have seen in the following areas.
System Admin => Install => Printers => Register /Type /Style / DRIVER.
The driver postion is actually depending on the print style like "PDF Publisher" or "Portrait For Logo" etc.
Is this the place you want me to check ? or is there anything else i am missing ?
Thanks,
Vijay

Check Printing Differs based on Printer..

Hi All,
We have 3 differenct printers(HP Laser Jet) for check printing purpose.
Each printer is printing differently.
Please can you suggest how can we take care of this irrespective of printer series.
Thank you
Madhu

How are you sending the pdf file to the printer? Are you opening it then manually printing or sending via unix commands or windows commands?
We have had similar issues in windows when would open the file and use the print feature from Adobe Acrobat in Windows platform. Similarly when we used Acrobat 5 vs Acrobat 7 in unix, Acrobat 5 was shrinking the entire document everytime regardless of us using/not using the -shrink command(really weird). I am now able to send a check to HP4100 printer and Ricoh 4500 printer from Windows or Unix with no problem. If you are using Windows make sure you are using a postscript print driver and not pcl...for some reason they don't play well together.

Wrong Check Printed on different vendor

Hi,
I have open item on vendor X name and system printed check in the name of Y, payment made through T.Code f-58, and i am not maintained alternate payee in the name of X Vendor master data..so what could be the reson and how system identified different vendor name for check printing.
Regards
Vinu

Hello,
Are you using an standard form or a Z* form?
Maybe your form is retrieving the wrong name from the database if you are using Z*.
You can review your form logic using se71.

[Urgent] How to print Line items Twice in Check Printing ??

Hi Experts,
We have got a requirement of printing the vendor invoice info(Line Items) above and below the actual check.
Eg.
Page 1
1-8 Line Items
Voided Check
1-8 Line Items
Page 2
9-16 Line Items
Voided Check
9-16 Line Items
Page 3 ..... (last Page)
17-20 Line Items
Actual Check
17-20 Line Items
Now, All the things are printing fine except dual printing of the Line items at the below of Check.
Please help me..... i am using Check print program RFFOUS_C.
If anyone can has done something like this before than please send me the code for it.
If someone requires more clarification, please ask me.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
we have done check printing here. but can u pl tell me why is the line item required to be printed below the check also??
u must have observed that in the check sapscript ( F110_PRENUM_CHCK), the main window is situated above the check window.. n the line items are coming within the main window...since the line items are dynamic data( not fixed), u have to create a window below the check n that has to be a MAIN window again for it to display multiple data.. so wen ur last page is getting called ( u need to find that out that wen is the last page getting called ), u can insert a write_form for this new main window along with the other write_form( for the earlier main window).
it can get very complex though as i dont know if this will certainly work...
is the requirement reaaly to print the line items below the check or anything else will do?? as it wud greatly reduce ur headache...

My sapscript form gets printed twice in PRD.

Hello experts,
We are currently facing a problem here. We just transported our sapscript tp PRD yesterday and today the users complained that the printout is always printed twice. But on our testing in DEV and QAS that isn't the case. Can you please give me possible causes of this problems and suggestions. Help would be greatlt appreciated.
Again, thanks a lot guys and have a nice day!

Check the output condition record which is generating the output, it might have been set to issue 2 outputs (number of copies). Output condition records are not transportable and can be maintained directly in production, that gives more reason to belive that things might work different across landscape.
If you cannot figure out where to look for and exhaused all your options, debug the print program and check what is getting pass to FM OPEN_FORM call in "Number of copies".
Thanks,

AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

HI
I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
thanks

Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
by
Sarma Chilukuri
This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
Part I â Basic Setup
AP Setup for check printing
There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
Step 1: login as Payable Manager
Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
2.     Tab to âBank Accountsâ, and make sure your account # has been setup
3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the âPayables Documentsâ and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This âPayment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are âEver Green Laserâ (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
Printer Styles, Drivers setup
The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
Step 1. Login as system Administrator
Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
Look for the âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, âAPLASPâ (AP Laser printer format).
Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
     1. The âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ is associated with a âUser Driverâ of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of âAPLASPâ
     2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
CODE #     Code Definition
100     Electronic check activation string
101     1st Check #
102     2nd Check #
104     Deactivate check number mode string
111     Activate MICR line
112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
121     1st Signature
122     2nd Signature
141     Address font activation string
199     Return to default state string
Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
Step 2: Setting up the Option block
In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
E.g.,
p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
Step 3: Output format is Text
Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.
Fig. 5 System Administrator Concurrent Program APXPBFEL Options Definition
UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Qâs that were setup on the UNIX box.
Part II: Integrating all the pieces
The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etcâ¦ have associated format triggers and printer codes.
Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
For E.g.,
For the MICR, the âprinter code before and after columns â should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.
Fig. 7 APXPBFEG rdf file MICR printer mask and Format Triggers
Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.
I broke the line into pieces to illustrate the exact escape sequence code.
Code "211"
Part 1: esc "&f0S" esc "&f0y0X" esc "&l0E" esc "&a0L"
Part 2: esc "(8M" esc "(s0p8.00h8.0v0s0b80T" --- This will be provided by the ROM

code "212"
Part 1 : esc "&f1x3x8X"
Part 2 : esc "&f1S"
Let us go over these 2 sets of codes carefully.
Escape Code     Meaning     Comment
esc "&f0S"      Push Cursor Position
esc "&f0y0X"     Define Macro ID 0 and Start Macro Definition

Summary
One can print their own checks using the above steps. This can work as a cost effective solution for small organizations where the budgetary constraints are tighter. We are successful in getting the AP Checks printed using the above method.

Check printing "Format Payment Instructions" stuck at printing phase

Hi,
One of our end users is complaining that he is running a Check Print Request (Format Payment Instructions), which is running since morning, though it completes within 2 minutes.
when i checked the logfile, i found that the request processing was completed successfully and the request is stuck at printing phase:
Request log:

Since morning, the request is running and log is showing the same message.
Now, the user is saying that till 2 days back, he was able to print the checks via the same printer.
Here is the log of the same request ran by the same user. This request printed the check successfully.

I verified that the printer is working fine. I was able to print the sample file from OS and also the Active User Request output.
Also, the same request if printed via other check printers, is going fine and users are able to print the check.
Also, when i checked the OPP log, i did not find any messages for this request that the XML publisher has worked on it to convert it to PDF, the desired format.
Can someone help me with this.
thanks.

What is the application release? OS?
- solaris sparc - 64, R12.1.1, on 2 node RAC 11g
Since morning, the request is running and log is showing the same message.
Have you tried to submit the request again?
- Yes, more than twice.
Now, the user is saying that till 2 days back, he was able to print the checks via the same printer.
What if you submit the request as another user and print to the same printer?
- That I have to check with the Users.
I verified that the printer is working fine. I was able to print the sample file from OS and also the Active User Request output.
Any stuck jobs in the printer queue?
- We restarted the printer too and fired new jobs. All is fine.
Also, the same request if printed via other check printers, is going fine and users are able to print the check.
Since you are able to print the same request to some other printer, and you are able to print to the same printer from the OS/Application, then most probably this is an issue with that specific concurrent request (not concurrent program). Also, please check if you have any locks in the database (bounce the CM/Database if possible and try again).
- CM and Database are brought down at night and then started in the morning every night. So DB and CM have been bounced twice since the issue was reported.
Hussain, how can we check the issue with Conc Request, if any.

Problems with check printing RTF template

To BI Publisher Gurus,
I am working on the check printing RTF template and facing a few issues with page breaks, filling the insufficient invoice lines with template and positioning of the table(s) itself inside the RTF template.
For page break, am using the following piece of code just before the end of all of my FE loops.
<xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="position()-1<count($inner_group)"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:att:attribute></xsl:if>
the $inner_group is my group for G_INVOICES to loop through all the invoices of a check in G_CHECKS group.
The problem I'm facing is, everytime a check is printed its printing a blank page in between. Searched all the earlier forum posts but none of the solutions worked in my case.
Second issue, for filling the insufficient invoice lines (in my case, am printing 26 invoices per page per check), the call to the blank lines template is repeating twice and found no way to get rid of it.
Third issue, if the check is running into a second page, the call to the blank lines template does not work and the position of the bottom part of check is getting misaligned.
I am ready to send my template and the sample XML file to look at. Thanks for your time and effort.
