Scanning

  • Enhanced MICR formatting to properly parse Item Numbers with an unexpected placement in relation to the Account Number. 
  • Enhanced error message displayed when Routing Numbers include a hyphen or dash to clearly communicate use of this character results in an invalid format.
  • Enhanced MICR formatting to properly parse exaggerated spacing in account numbers. 
  • Enhanced count displayed while check images are saving to include the total, for example "Saving check images... 3 of 50".

Batches
  • Enhanced Batch details by calculating and displaying the difference between expected total and current total.
