CHECK PRINTING INTERNAL CONTROL

Hi All,
I need your thoughts regarding check printing. Are there any (cuztomzing, functions etc) for the check to be printed once after posting outgoing payments? What has to be done for the check not to be printed more than once to avoid double payment?
Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Hi ,
I know this already. If I failed to print check in F-58, I go back to t-code FBZ5 exclusively for printing check.
My question is, how can I have internal control for printing check more than once to avoid double payment.

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"

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.

Concurrency control for check printing

We are writing a check printing application and would like to know what business rules SAP Business One enforces for concurrency control when check printing:
1) Can two users print checks at the same time?
2) If so, can they print from the same account at the same time?
3) If SAP Business One allows this, what mechanism/logic does it use to ensure that the check numbering will accurately reflect the check forms?
4) Is that mechanism available to developers via the UI API or DI API?
5) If SAP Business One does not allow concurrent check printing from the same account, what mechanism/logic does it use to prevent it?
6) Is that mechanism available to developers via the UI API or DI API?

Daniel,
SAP Note 910588 gives a great overview of how check printing in Business One functions. You may want to review that note.
HTH,
Eddy

Is there any way to do print tray control in XMLP?

The requirement is for check printing. Here is the requirement
If printing a check, use the check stock tray. Else if printing the remittance advice, use the plain paper tray.
Is there any way I can implement this logic?
Thnx

Hi Brett
You do indeed need magnetic ink.
When we spoke to the niche vendors about controlling ink cartridges they told us they recommend customers use mag ink for the whole document. Mag ink is now not that much more expensive that regular ink. We do not currently generate PCL or PS natively to control ink cartridges, so we have followed suit and recommend you print the whole doc in mag ink.

How to avoid sample printout in check printing

hi
in fico check printing i have copied the standard script F110_PRENUM_CHCK
and devloped a z to add the company logo
the problem with the printout is that it displays an additional sample printout on first page
followed by the required print on the next page
how to avoid the sample printout .
the check printing is done through f-58
thanks
regards
darshan

Hello Darshan,
In F-58: "Output Control" block there is a checkbox for "Test Prinout".
Plz uncheck the box & you will not get the sample print out.
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.

Check Printing Urgent

When the invoice numbers flows to another page amount should display in last page.it should print void in first page how to control this,

Hi Navneet..
Firstly thx for a prompt responce..
in 9i there is a ready to use RDF file name spellcash.rdf to design check. Pls visit http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/B10310_01/orbr_spellcash.htm
Comming to my problem..
im able to print 3 checks properly..i have only two frames..ie main and repeating..
so every 3 checks (123/456/..) checks are printed fine but after every 3 checks the next check(4,7..) is raised up..in margin..it dosnt have the same margin as that of before first initial check printed..
It can also be said as..the 3 checks are considered as on page(of 9-10 inch)and it prints properly..
The pre-printed check is a cintinuous starionary..
These are my settings:
Main section:Section -widht 9.2 height:3.5
Report Width:80 height:22
Repeating Frame:No page break,MAx record per page 0
Vertical Elas.:Fixed
Horozontal: Variable
(the above settings are tried with different options available also)
In Property of Report-
MAximun Horizontal Body pages,Verical is 10inch
Pls guide..
thx in advance

AP Check Printing via BIP

Hello,
We are down to the last few reports that we need to migrate off of our old system (Optio) onto BIP, and as the title suggests these are our checks (AP first, then payroll).
Our AP checks print with the check itself on the bottom of the page and the list of invoices that the check includes being printed in the top 3/4th of the page (using apxpbfeg to serve up the data as per the docs).
Also, we have the requirement that our AP department can print a single check for up to 300 invoices from the same supplier.
So, we often have multiple pages of details regarding the check, with the check voided at the bottom of all of the pages except the last page which will have the single check used to pay all of the listed invoices (above and on previous pages).
Has anyone tackled this before? If so, would you mind sharing the template [[email protected]]?
Has anyone come up with a way to control the line behavior across pages WITHOUT counting lines on the page (we have been waiting for over three years for a better way Oracle!)?
Please do not just point me to the 2-3 year old articles posted on Tim's blog... Thanks anyway.
Very Sincerely,
Scott

Yes, I beleive you are correct.
Thanks for the sample template I have already started down that road and it was nice to see your template is very similiar to what I have so far.
Another example is always nice to have.
I have heard that PDF templates can solve this "line counting" challenge but I have not delved into those as of yet and would rather not start on the last two reports I have to convert, esp. since they are the (all important) checks.
Thanks again,
Scott

AP Check Printing : Position the check at the page's bottom

Hi all,
I'm struggling to build an RTF template for AP check printing.
I have tried Tim's solution and Darshan's approach and can control the number of invoices per page to successfully handle the overflow checks.
The trouble resides on controlling the position of the check which should be printed at the absolute bottom of each page (VOIDED or NOT VOIDED)
Depending on the number of the invoices per page, the table which holds the invoices pushes down (or pulls up) the check along with the MICR value.
Since XMLP check printing is quite common requirement, there might be a successful format out there.
Will appreciate any advise for this issue.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
Following your advise, the check is now displayed at the absolute bottom of the page, regardless of the number of invoices per page. I did use your second method, controlling the height of the invoice data row with the same dimension as the filler and the recursive template.
I'm facing another challenge which looks more of a standard AP functionality: For overflow check, i should display the associated voided check on page 1 through page n, then the $amount check on the last page.
i.e
Page 1
Payment info
invoice 1
invoice 2
invoice 3
Check detail
***void***
Page 2
Payment info
invoice 4
invoice 5
invoice 6
Check detail
***void***
Page 3
Payment info
invoice 7
invoice 8
invoice 9
Check detail
Total $Amount of invoice 1-9
My actual layout only displays 1 check after listing all invoices. Any advise is really appreciated.
Thanks again for your time.

Print internal error when tring to print PPA document

Hello experts,
    We got a problem when we tried to print out PPA document in HR system using t-code PHAP_ADMIN_PA. The system always shows the message Error when printing: Internal error. And message no: HRHAP00_DOCUMENT160.
    I have searched the forum but I have no idea how can I check and how can I do to solve this problem. Can anyone help me?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Joseph,
This error is usually linked to an incorrect configuration of the printer.
Please check the following notes for information on the type of printer supported for PDF
   685571 - Printing PDF-based forms
Check also your ADS settings (or install it if it's not already done as it is required for PDF as well).
The installation steps you can fbe found in ADS Configuration Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm
Once installed or if it's there already then please check the following:
Execute the ADS test program "FP_TEST_00" in your system, check whether form is being displayed once you specify the
printer name. Also, could you check in transaction SM59 the ADS status?
In order to print an appraisal form, you need:
1- the Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed and well configured
   on a J2EE engine in your system landscape
2- an appropriate connection called ADS maintained in SM59
ADS configuration guide is available on Help Portal.http://help.sap.com/nw2004s
-> SAP NetWeaver Library -> Technology Consultant's Guide ->Cross-NetWeaver Configurations -> Adobe Document Services ->Configuration.
Please also make sure, that ADS is used on a supported platform. You can check the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) for informationabout supported plattforms for ADS.Link: http://service.sap.com/pam

Hope the above will help you solve this error
Thanks

Check if your Programm is called at the Sapscript level.
Are you calling the programm from the Sapscript using the PERFORM command? or are these Programm and Sapscript set in customizing?
Using SE16 check the Message Type and see if Sapscript and the programm are connected at all.

Regarding new bank to be created for new office ...check printing issue...

dear all..
i need to create bank for our new office say BARODA office for check printing purpose.
our comp. has allready configured for mumbai and main office bank...
but i dont know the full cycle.. can anybody tell me the process to implement the same ?
thanks in adv..

Thanks Sandra for your response.
From the PCL Font list it says
USB Resident storage fonts
Font = H E-13B-600
Pitch/Point = 8.00/8.4
Esc sequence = <esc>(0Q<esc>(s0p8.00h8.4v0sb0T
Font = USB1 1
Font id = blank
I am only using Print control = SF450 as the SAPSCRIPT is copied form an existing one, but event he SAP standard text will not print (vanilla) SAPSCRIPT-MICRTEST or SAPSCRIPT_MICRTEST the correct fonts.
Do you think font pitch may be the issue, we are planning to change this tomorrow to 10.
Does the escape sequence need to be added as a new print control to the Device type in SPAD or does SF450 HPLJMI still work?
One other thing from note 94233 I checked the RAW spool file and it does contain

How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator?

Hello all !
I like to control with LabVIEW 8 student-version, the Frequenz-generator gadget . For this challenge i like to us the parallel port of the printer. I need for data flow only 2 cable. The frequenz-generator gadget need two signal : Low and High.How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator gadget? I have us the VIs-Visa (Visa-Serial, write, Close ), but i dont no what command i have to write on the Visa-Write so that the Signal can be in the low or high position.
Thanks

Hi Jeanjac,
first, look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port
to get the port numbering. also, be sure not to leave pin unconected, sometimes you might get an error message otherwise (i remember pin11 has to be always connected or so for windows...)
second, just run the test panel in MAX and write something to your device to check if it works.
then in LV, you have to decide to which pin is connected your instrument. in any case you have to address all 8 output pins together! this is a parallel...
if you prefere to use only one pin, then you can use the serial port, with just pin 2 and 3 connected. it would work easier for you, since you address only one bit.

Check Printing, creating new report

Dear all;
We have Oracle EBS R12, the check printing in R12 use a java concurent program. we have a requirment where we need to add some condition but as you know, it is impossible to play with the existing check printing java concurent program even if we decompile it
we have created a new rdf and rtf (along with a new concurent program) that we will call instead of the java concurent program however we are not able to pass the "Check No" parameter to this new concurent program
any solution to this Check printing issue?
the cusotmer paid around 1 million US$ and he cannot add a single condition to the check printing

Hi,
Not sure I get what you mean by "add a condition" ???
To exclude an invoice from payment, catch it before it gets to check printing, or restrict the Payment Process as you require.
You have full control over the formatting via BI Publisher Layout - and can add conditions there!
You have full ability to add additional fields via the PL/SQL Package extension that hooks into the XML generation.
Can you clarify your requirements?
PS. Contact me if you need a consulting solution.

Gareth
