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

• When the AP Master file is created for a new company folder, it comes with some 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 a new check format is created, it is specific to the company folder in which it was created.
• If an existing check format is changed, the changes are specific to the company folder in which it exists. If there is another company folder with the same check format name, it is unaffected. If the changes need to be applied to the same check format in each company folder, the same changes will have to be made in each company folder.
• If a check format is deleted, it cannot be recovered without restoring to backup. Otherwise, the check format will have to be manually recreated if it is needed again.
