Using Accounts Payable

Checks: Electronically Reconciling ChecksStep 3. Customize the subroutine that loads the reconciliation tape. The defaultsubroutine to load a reconciliation tape is call S.LOAD.AP.CHK, and islocated in STANDARD.FORMS. Since there is no standard tape layout forelectronic check reconciliation, you will most likely have to create a customsubroutine to do the loading. To do this, make a copy of S.LOAD.AP.CHK.Edit the copy, making changes as necessary to meet the needs of your bank.When you are finished, compile and catalog the new subroutine. If you plan toreconcile checks with more than one bank, you will more than likely need asubroutine for each bank. If your bank requires a check request tape, you willalso need to make a copy of S.REQUEST.AP.CHK (also inSTANDARD.FORMS). Modify this copy to meet the specifications of yourbank regarding check request tapes.For more detailed information on modifying subroutines, see the GettingStarted with Purchasing and Accounts Payable manual.Step 4. Set up the tape information for each bank code. Using the BKCD form (whichmay be accessed directly or may be detailed to off of the BKCM form), fill inthe block size and record size for the reconciliation tape, and the name of thesubroutine that will load the tape. If your bank requires a check request tape,fill out the block size, record size and subroutine name for the request tape aswell. If they do not, leave these fields blank.Note: You can only enter subroutines that have been catalogued. Youmust perform Step 3 before you can perform Step 4.If you plan to include multiple accounts on one tape, the block size, recordsize and subroutine name must be the same for each bank code that will be onthe tape.424 Using Accounts Payable, June 19, 2009© 2009 Datatel, Inc.
