Accounts Payable store check formats (Tools, Check Formats) in the AP Master file (master.apm) and are specific to each company data folder.

• When you create the AP Master file for a new company folder, it contains these default check formats:
  • CANDTL006 - Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 with retainage and discount detail in the stub
  • CANSTD006 - Canadian Payments Association Standard 006
  • DETAIL - includes retainage and discount detail in the stub
  • MICR 1
  • MICR 2
  • MICR 3
  • MICR 4
  • MICR 5
  • STANDARD
    • Refer to AP Help Topics for information about each MICR format.
• When you create a new check format, it’s specific to the company folder where you create it.
• If you change an existing check format, the changes are specific to the company folder where it exists. If there’s another company folder with the same check format name, it’s unaffected. If you need to apply changes to the same format in multiple companies, change them in each folder.
• If you delete a check format, you can only recover it by restoring to back up. Otherwise, manually recreate the check format if it’s needed again.
