MICR number in lockbox file
Good day.
I have a question regarding the expectation from the standard lockbox processing functionality when it comes to MICR numbers.
Per our current BAI2 file transmission format we include MICR number in payment record 6. We also ask the company that generates the lockbox files for us to include the customer number in the record 4.
More often than not, they do not include the customer number in record 4 and if the remittance also misses the invoice number, they do not include invoice number as well.
When that happens, we have cases that MICR number returns more than one customer and fails to create unapplied receipt.
