  • The functionality for printing $0 Payables checks has been modified. If you have a situation where a credit or manual payment was fully applied to one or more invoices, you can print $0 checks.

Version 2010 b67
Release Date: 9/2011

  • Numeric check formats are no longer supported. If you are already using .stb or stbx formats (Configurator), proceed to the next bullet point. If you are still using the Check Format Maintenance screen, you must convert to .STBX formats to print checks. To determine if you are currently using Numeric check formats and for the conversion steps, go to http://www.mekorma.com/support/knowledgebase/numeric-to-stbx.html.
  • New Registration Keys are required to run this release. After installation, open the Mekorma MICR Registration screen (Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > System > Mekorma MICR > Registration) and click the Online Registration button to access your new keys.
  • The menu paths for Mekorma MICR screens have changed. Please refer to the “Navigating to Mekorma MICR Screens” section of the Mekorma MICR User Guide.pdf.
  • Users can disable the “Print Blank Checks” menu option for Payables, US Payroll and Canadian Payroll from the Mekorma MICR Security screen.
  • The stub library location configuration has changed. In previous versions, you could define a different stub library path for each company.

When you upgrade, the Check Format Path field on the Mekorma MICR System Options screen is populated with the location defined in the Default Stubs Library Location field on the old Configurator Global Setup screen.
  • The Mekorma MICR Signature and Password screen is now accessed from the Mekorma Security screen which requires the GP System password to be entered.

  • When using the optional automatic check copies to PDF feature, your performance speed printing checks and posting checks will be three to five times slower.
  • The behavior for opening the Mekorma MICR Signature and Password screen has changed. Because the system password is required to open the Mekorma MICR Security screen and the Mekorma MICR Signature and Password screen is launched from that screen, a password is no longer required to open the Signature ID screen.
  • Prior to Print Engine 2 (PE2), padding Amount in Words field with asterisks to take up empty spaces was done by layering two fields: the Amount in Words field and a text field filled with asterisks. In PE2, the ability to layer fields is not supported. To resolve this, a specific property has been added to text, multi-text and multi-text reverse fields. This property allows the user to pad empty space in the field with any character. You can modify a field using the field’s Properties window in the Configurator.

New Features in this Release

  • User Based Security: New security options are available using GP User IDs. You can configure approvers (with or without signatures) and maximum approval amounts, and then assign the approvers to checkbooks. In addition, this new security configuration comes with an audit trail report detailing the approver and approval date of the checks. There is also a “No Security” option for users who do not want to associate security with check printing.
  • PDF Check Copies: The ability to print check copies to PDF has been enhanced to allow you to print individual copies of each check to a PDF.
  • Check Image Archive: Check data is now saved in the database so you can view an image of the check when you drill into a payables, US payroll, or Canadian Payroll check inquiry screen.
  • Support for GP Refund Checks: Built-in support for Dynamics GP refund checks is now available. The system automatically notices when a check is a refund check and uses the Mekorma refund check stub format that reports the details of the transaction from the sales order processing system.
  • Self-service Registration Key Generation: Users can generate Mekorma MICR Registration Keys using the new Online Registration option.
  • The Assign Checkbooks easyAdd now allows you to assign a default checkbook ID to a specific GP Dynamics user.
