Items Processing is asking us to add a transcode to the micr line of our expense check. Curious if others have done this and if so, where should it go?

I am thinking it should go after the account number and before the amounts Field.

Other question is would it be required to have any "colons" or other distinguishing marks to separate it?

Thanks

Our HELOC checks use a code. It is about 3 spaces after our account number (around spaces 15 & 16, as laid out on our MICR spec sheet), with no "colons" around it.

Personally, I would request Item Processing to submit the request in writing & specify the MICR layout that they would like to use in that request.

We have a MICR encoding machine, so I used it to "Create" a check. It placed the trans code exactly like you described. So, I tested it on a check and sent through processing and it worked as they desired it to.

Thanks for the response.
