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.

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,

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,

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.

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.

Check printing on landscape

Hi All,
I have implemented the AP Check printing prog in r12 for mutiple countries like US, CA, FR, DE, UK. Now i am working on Check printing for Costa Rica.
The main problem here is that i HAVE to use a EPSON FX-2190 dotmatrix printer to print these checks.
When i print the output of the Format Payment Instructions, even though the o/p is a portrait it is printing by rotating the output by 90 degress.
I have tried a couple of options and finally have found a solution that if i use the Precprocess command as given below the printer prints properly.
New: preprocess=/usr/local/bin/pdftops -nocrop {infile} {outfile}
I would like to include a branc in the PASTA_PDF.cfg file and ask it to use the below option for all the other printer except the dotmatrix printer.
Can i achieve it ??
OLD : preprocess=/usr/local/bin/pdftops -paper match {infile} {outfile}
But bcos we can use only 1 style (PDF publisher ) at the Format Payment Instructions definition level i cannot create a different style and use it to print for this printer.
I want to do a branching and use a different preprocess command or a different pasta_pdf.cfg file based on the printer name.
Is this even doable ? Can yopu think of any workaround to make the pasta_pdf.cfg file selection dynamics based on printer name or anything else.
We are using the std payment process with no customization in the PPR process.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay

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"

code "212"
Part 1 : esc "&f1x3x8X"

Let us go over these 2 sets of codes carefully.

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.

Payment Medium Workbench(PMW) for check printing

Dear experts,
We have recently implemented PMW to speed up our telegrahic transfer (TT) payments to the banks.
All is well so far.
Now we want to include the check printouts as well. Previously when we were using the classic payment medium program, we were able to assign the RFFOUS_C for check printing.
How do I go about doing the same thing in the PMW? Appreciate some pointers.
regards
Sylvia

Hello,
SAP has provided some of the DME structures for different countries. like GB_BACS for GB etc.
If your client is not part of those structure, probably you are required to create your own structure. It also depends on the bank of your client. They may want the file in a different format. Therefore, you need to first talk to the bank and get a sample file in which they need the format.
You can create the DME structure by using transaction code DMEE - Tree Type is PAYM.
You can create the DME structure as a flat file or XML file based on the requirement of your client (bank).
You can also copy the standard structure to Z structure and modify it according to your requirements.
Please also make sure that you have made settings in OBPM1, OBPM2, OBPM3 and OBPM4 (More importantly you should maintain the path where it needs to be downloaded)
Take help of basis consultant in order to create the directories. You can see the directories in AL11.
If there are no directory path maintained in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory in AL11.
Regards,
Ravi

Line items not printed in check printing payment advice

Hi, this is the first time i am implementing check printing module so need some help.
I have used standard print program RFFOUS_C and sapscript form F110_PRENUM_CHEK
when I create an invoice from FB60 and make payments through F-58, on printing it prints the check properly but no line items are displayed.
Please tell me a step by step procedure on how to print the payment advice,i.e, the line items. Is it already in the standard program or do i need to code it. I am interested in the learning also, if anyone can give me details it would be helpful fr me to implement it easily understanding what I am actually doing...
Any help soon is appreciated .

Already everything(line items) exists in the program, if you want to add additional fileds to be displayed that are not existing in your program then you need to sub-routines instead of modifying the standard print program.
Now, you say that your line items are not displayed in your output. For check printing there is some configurations and settings to be done by your functional consultant.. I guess some configuration is missing in your case, that lack the display of line items...check with your functional team on this....(they have to set the lines)
Note: For more info on config check FBZP where form config will be done basing on company code.

Check printing

Hi,
I have run the automatic payment program for a vendor, but not able to see the check information for the same.
Though I have configured check management I could not see the check printed for the vendor.
Please suggest me where else, I have to configure to see the check printed for the vendor payment.
Thank you,
Ramesh.

Hi
Have you configured the varient for the check printing programme. While running F110 there are severall programmes available for which you have to maintain the variants. Following are few programmes
RFFOAVIS
RFFOEDI1
RFFOUS_C
Based on the variant system will generate cheques. You can verify them in your spool request

F110 check printing clears documents in another currency

Hello,
We have a scenario, where for a company code, Vendor invoices can be posted in two currencies (USD and CAD). There are two banks (Bank A & Bank B) where the payments should go out from depending on the document currency. Bank A for USD and Bank B for CAD and we have maintained variants as such. The idea is, while running F110, if we choose variant for Bank A, only USD invoices will be picked for check printing. Same with Bank B, only CAD invoices should be picked.
However, when we run the program with one variant, both the currencies are picked up and invoices are cleared. But the checks are only printed for the variant in payment proposal.
Is there a way to tell the system how only a particular currency can be picked up? or would this need any customization? if so, what type of efforts are needed?
In Bank determination configuration under FBZP, ranking order is 1 for both the banks for the same payment method.
Thank you for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Sagar K.

Hi Sagar
Print program will come AFTER the vendor items are cleared. even though you do not give any variant in the print tab (and not check the box "create payment medium") still the F110 will execute successfully and clear the open items based on the parameters you enter
once you hit the print out button on F110, based on the variant you choose, the program will print the checks
if you want to run the payment program for USD only, then in the free selection, select the currency in the free selection field as below and this will clear only the USD invoices
Hope this helps

URGENT : Check Printing

Hi There,
I am working on converting standard Payables Check printing to be based on BI Publisher (5.6.3). Currently, the client is using a laser printer and the checks are being printed thru standard oracle report. For printing checks, they are using a special cartridge. Some of the strings on the check are printed in MICR font and my guess is that the oracle report is sending some special printer codes (defined in printer definition file) to the printer to let the printer know which fields are to be printed in MICR font.
Is it possible to have the rtf template access the fonts on the printer ?
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Gareth,
I have created an eText template for my check print... where the format is almost exact to the current process my client is using.
However, the client currently also sends the following control characters to the printer.
ESC @ ---> initialize printer
ESC 2 ---> set 6 lines per inch
ESC C 22 ---> set 22 lines per page
Ant ideas how to do this in my rtf template?
Thanks in advance
Ash.

Oracle AP - Check Printing formats

Hi,
I want to know about the different formats that Oracle supports for check printing. I am aware of the Evergrn check printing facility, but am looking for other possible ways of printing checks in pre-defined formats.
Also wanted to know whether a check number would appear on each printed check thru Oracle.
Thanks

Aditi
I believe Oracle AP installation has several pre-defined check formats including the Evergreen one. If my memory is right, there are even different varieties of Evergreen - like one for laser etc. I can't remember any other names of the top of the my head, but i am pretty sure you would get a quickpick of the available formats in one of the payment document defintion forms ( sorry! my memory is not good enough to remember the navigation path! ). I have seen them in 10.7 a few years ago. Please post a response if you do find it in AP.
Regarding check numbers, they do/can be printed on the check and the payment stub. I believe yoou would be using pre-printed check stock with check numbers already on them. AS correctly mentioned in the previous post, the starting check number of your check stock should match the 'next check number' defined in your payment document definition. Its a lot easier to maintain and keep track of the checks if this is kept in sync. I think this might be a legal requirement too, but I am not sure -check with your AP dept

Check printing to handle payment to alternative payee

Hi,
Requirement
For our customer, alternative payee is not currently configured.
Finance manually nets the amount between two vendor and then process check payment.
Hence we have a requirement to automatically print a single check for payee and alternative payee together in and net the amount of all invoices.
Currently when we do check printing (copy of SAP program RFFOUS_C), if we have a vendor A and vendor B (whose alternative payee is vendor A), then we get two different checks with Vendor name as Vendor A.
Business requirement is to get single check for Vendor A consolidating the remittance information of both vendors (Vendor A and Vendor B).
We also want this to be reflected properly in check register and check number assigned to both the payment documents.
Technical Changes
The change requires only one check number against 2 Account Numbers of Vendor/Creditor.
In the subroutine scheckinfo_speichern in Program RFFOUS_C, there is a logic to insert a new record in PAYR table against a check number.
Check Number (PAYR-CHECT) is a primary field in the table. Our requirement is to have 2 PAYR-LIFNR entries against the same Check Number(PAYR-CHECT).
But given the structure of the table with Check Number(CHECT) as primary key field, this cant be achieved.
Is there any other alternative for the same.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Prashant

Experts,
any pointers please ..

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!
