Thank you Mike and Steve. After evaluating the pros and cons, we ended up using Mekorma with our GP 2010.
Thank you!
Sometimes you may have some companies that print using GP checks, other companies that print Mekorma MICR. The solution is to create another Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID and call it NO-MICR for example. Then select Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > System > User Security Setup to display the User Security Setup dialog box. Select the company that the user will be printing checks in and set the Alternate Modified Forms and Reports ID field to NO-MICR and click Save.
Hi Hetal,
You can find complete uninstall information for Mekorma MICR in our User Guide PDF. Look in the table of contents, towards the end of the guide and click on the link that talks about Uninstalling Mekorma Components. Please let us know if you are unable to locate this information and we can forward it to you.
The Mekorma user documentation exists directly in the GP install:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP\Mekorma MICR
For the GP information, you will likely need to review the payables management documentation accessed from within GP's help menu or:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP\Documentation
Thank you Mike and Craig for your inputs. As we are not in a rush to explore and get this change implemented, we are attempting to see if we can study and achieve this in-house. I was wondering if there is a help document available in GP/Mekorma itself or on CustomerSource that can be referred to if we hit a road block?
If this becomes too big of a task for us or if priorities change we will for sure reach out for assistance. Thank you again!
Also, please feel free to call Mekorma support.. We may be able to quickly help you know if GP without Mekorma will fit your needs. If you do not need Mekorma MICR we can help you disable it in a more complete fashion. We may also be able to refund some of your yearly enhancement if there is small time left on the contract. You can visit our website for contact information.
The first thing I would do is take a back up of any existing reports just in case the check has been altered before the implementation of Mekorma MICR. To do this, go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Customize > Customization Maintenance. If you have ANY check forms that show up in the next window, select these and Export. This will allow a restore of the existing check if anything should happen during editing.
To edit the check, you can either print the desired format to screen output and select Modify, or go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Customize > Report Writer and select the desired report, either from the list of 'standard' reports on the left or 'modified' reports on the right.
At this point, I would highly recommend looking at the printable manual in GP for Report Writer accessed from the "?" in the upper right hand corner of GP > Printable Manuals > Reporting > Report Writer.
Once you have the check modified, you will need to go to Administration > Setup > Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports again to grant access to the new report. Select the appropriate ID(s), set Product = Microsoft Dynamics GP, Type = Reports. Expand Purchasing and the check format and make sure this is set to the 'modified' version. Test print, modify, repeat... It's a bit of a process.
Before you head down this road, I may be able to help if standard GP will meet the organization's needs as Mekorma is one of the products I work with and implement on a regular basis.
Thank you Mike!
I was able to make the above changes to our company. Now, how would i go about configuring the check format by using GP instead of Mekorma? The idea behind this switch is to test and see if GP check printing feature suffices our need. If it does, we plan to do away with Mekorma. Thank you for helping us out.
There are a couple of ways to do this depending on how permanent of a fix is needed.
The easiest work around for Mekorma is to go to Administration > Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports, select the appropriate ID(s), set Product = Mekorma MICR, Type = Windows. Expand Purchasing and Print Payables Checks and Print Payables Transaction Check. Change both of these from Mekorma MICR to Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Like I said, this is the easiest fix if you need to revert back to Mekorma MICR or switch back and forth between Mekorma MICR and GP.
