Tutorial – Keyed Entry for Checks

This tutorial explains how to perform keyed-entry of ACH sales. Unlike credit card sales, keyed ACH does not require the Address Verification System. Rather, address information is used solely for data mining (as in the illustrated in the example below)..

1.

Start PC Verifier.

2.

Enter your User password.

3.

Click on Checks.
The Name field is highlighted. In the previous tutorial, you clicked on the Checking Account label to switch to a savings account. In this example, the account will remain as a checking account.

4.

Enter Sue Banking and press the TAB key.
The Address field will now have the focus.

5.

Enter the following additional information:
Address: 123 South One Street West
City: Checking Village
State: CA
Zip: 92805
Tel: 909-555-1212
Ref: TEST-TWO

6.

Enter Routing # 1220000001.
As you enter the routing number, it appears in the check indicator. A valid routing number appears green. Invalid routing numbers appear red. You can also click on the check indicator to switch between different formats that might appear on a check.

7.

Enter 2154-04587 in the Acc’t # field.
This is the account number. Up to 10 digits can be displayed and dashes are permitted. Although dashes are usually removed by the merchant gateway, PC Verifier will the display account as you entered it.

8.

Enter 124 in the CHK field.
This is the check number.

9.

Enter 150 in the Amount $ field, and 20 in the Tip field.
The screen should now look like this.

10.

Press Save.
Normally, you would click on the Process button. However, this transaction will be saved, so that it can be used in the Transaction Manager Tutorial. Refer to steps 8, 9 and 10 in the previous tutorial (Using a Check Reader) on how the transaction process appears and how to print an approved receipt.
