Cheque Payment with 2 numbers via MCR, 2 numbers manually
Within a cheque payment, the system requires four
numbers. The bank code and the account number, which are on the magnet stripe
of the EC card, are to be read in via a magnetic card reader (MCR), the cheque
and the card numbers are to be entered manually.
In the following example, the present payment type
“Cheque” will be adjusted. This offers two advantages: The change effort is
very small and since the payment type number does not change, the cheque
payment type can still be booked via the present payment type key. (You can
also create a new payment type “Cheque”. The procedure is similar, the field
entries – exceptions: the payment type and entry numbers - equal the following
entries).
Configuration of the Cheque Payment Type
Go to Parameters -> Payments -> Payment Type. If a payment type is displayed, empty
the screen mask and call up the payment type “Cheque” by entering the payment
type number and confirming.
The payment type must be configured as follows:

Go to Branch -> Card
Reader Parameter.
The following preconditions must be met before you can
configure the EC card:
- The track structure of the card must be known to
you.
- Generally:
Both numbers to be read in (Bank Code and Account No.) must be located on
the same track.
- Each of the numbers to be read in must be
configured with a unique cons.no.
In the following example, it is assumed that all EC
cards begin with “59“, the bank code has 8 positions and begins with the 4th
digit, the account number has 10 positions and starts with the 12th
digit.
The configuration of the bank code is carried out as
follows:
- Company: <Company No.>
- Branch: <Branch No.>
- Track: 3
- Seq.No: 1
- Descriptor: "EC Card – Bank Code“
- Compare from position.: 3 ("0" is the
mandatory start position for EC cards)
- Compare with: 59
- Simulates key: STn
The confirmation of the manually entered number via "ST" will be
internally evaluated as the key code "STn"; therefore, this
entry has to be made.
- Offset Field 2: 5
- Length Field 2: 8.
- In the fields "Offset Field 1",
"Length Feld1" and "Def. Device Data" no entries will
be made.
- Save your entries.
The configuration of the account no. is carried out as
follows:
- Company: <Company No.>
- Branch: <Branch No.>

- Seq.No: 2
- Descriptor: "EC card – Account No."
- Compare from position: 3 ("0" is the
mandatory start position for EC cards)
- Compare with: 59
- Simulates key: STn
The confirmation of the manually entered number via "ST" will be
internally evaluated as the key code "STn"; therefore, this
entry has to be made.
- Offset Field 2: 14
- Length Field 2: 10.
- In the fields "Offset Field 1",
"Length Feld1" and "Def. Device Data" no entries will
be made.
- Save your entries.
