To Enter a MICR Payment

Use this tab to enter a MICR payment by scanning a resident's personal check using a MICR Scanner. The system applies payments to the resident's account, including auto-allocating payments to the account if a delinquent balance is due.

Note

Resident Entry is the default payment method, so a resident pop-up form appears automatically after selecting Ledger—Pay & Adjust. To access the Invoice Entry and MICR Entry payment methods, click Cancel. You can change the default so you are always presented with all payment options: uncheck the property policy Automatically Select Resident Entry in the Pay and Adjust category.

From the eSite menu, select Ledger—Pay & Adjust. A resident pop-up form appears automatically.
Select Cancel to close the resident pop-up form.
Select MICR Entry. The MICR Scanner Tab displays.
Scan the resident's check using the MICR Scanner. eSite auto-populates the fields on this tab with information scanned from the check.
Click the Save button to continue. If the Bank Transit number does not already exist, the Bank Transit Number (Add/Modify) Tab displays.
Complete these tasks:

At ABA Number, enter or verify the bank ABA number.

At Bank Name, enter or verify the bank name shown on the resident's personal check.

Click the Save button to continue. A second MICR Scanner Tab displays.
Complete these tasks:

At Checking A/C Name, enter the name of the first person listed on the check.

At Amount to Pay, enter the payment amount listed on the check or click the Calculator button to display an electronic calculator.

Click the Pay option to complete this process.

Note:

If the amount of the check differs from the resident's delinquent balance, the Add Payments and Adjustments Tab displays allowing you to allocate the difference as needed.
