When creating MICR checks, several merge fields are available. This topic describes each of the merge fields and where the information is pulled. For more information about setting up MICR checks, see Creating MICR Checks for Use in CIM GOLDTeller. The following is an example of where the merge fields are found on the MICR Check Form Design screen:

Field

Description

CWAcct

This is the account number for which you are running the transaction or Check Writer. Check Writer automatically appears after a transaction that requires money to go back to the customer, such as on a payoff or insurance cancellation.

BranchAddr

This is the branch address for the account for which you are running the transaction. This information is pulled once the transaction is run or the office or account number is entered in Check Writer. When the account involves the office number at the front (a two or four-digit number), the system pulls that branch's address information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the address entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

 

This is the street address. You would still need to add the BranchName and BnchCtStZp merge fields.

BranchCity

This is the city of the branch for the account for which you are running the transaction. This information is pulled once the transaction is run or the office or account number is entered in Check Writer. When the account involves the office number at the front (a two or four-digit number), the system pulls that branch's city information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the city entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

 

This is just the city name. You would still need to add the BranchName, BranchAddr, BranchSt, and BranchZip merge fields. Or rather than using this field, use the BranchCtStZp field, as described below.

BranchCtStZp

This is the branch's city, state, and Zip code. This is printed on one line, such as: Provo, UT  84601.

 

The system pulls that branch's city, state, and Zip code information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number being run is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the city, state, and Zip code entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

BranchName

This is the branch's name. The system pulls that branch's name information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number being run on a transaction is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the name entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

BranchPhon

This is the branch's phone number. The system pulls that branch's phone number information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number being run on a transaction is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the phone number entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

BranchStat

This is the state of the branch for the account for which you are running the transaction. This information is pulled once the transaction is run or the office or account number is entered in Check Writer. When the account involves the office number at the front (a two or four-digit number), the system pulls that branch's state information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the state entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

 

This is just the state name. You would still need to add the BranchName, BranchAddr, BranchCity, and BranchZip merge fields. Or rather than using this field, use the BranchCtStZp field, as described above.

BranchUsr1

This is a user-defined field determined by your institution. It could be a branch's slogan, or it could be the branch president's name. The system pulls this information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen when the transaction is run.

BranchUsr2

This is a user-defined field determined by your institution. It could be a branch's slogan, or it could be the branch president's name. The system pulls this information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen when the transaction is run.

BranchZip

This is the Zip code of the branch for the account for which you are running the transaction. This information is pulled once the transaction is run or the office or account number is entered in Check Writer. When the account involves the office number at the front (a two or four-digit number), the system pulls that branch's Zip code information from the Functions > Administrator Options > PC Branch Settings screen.

 

For example, if the account number is 0002-0001230-07, "0002" is branch 2, and therefore, the Zip code entered for branch 2 on the PC Branch Settings screen is pulled.

 

This is just the Zip code of the branch. You would still need to add the BranchName, BranchAddr, BranchCity, and BranchSt merge fields. Or rather than using this field, use the BranchCtStZp field, as described above.

CWChkAmt

This is the amount of the check being paid to the customer via the Check Writer screen.

WKCAMT

This is the legal amount required on checks. It is the long-hand, written amount, such as "One hundred twenty-three dollars and 00/100." The system automatically pulls this amount from the amount on the Check Writer screen.

CWDate

This is the date the check was written to the customer. This amount is pulled when the Check Writer screen is processed for a customer.

CWDesc

This is the description of the check, as pulled after the Check Writer screen is processed from an account, as shown below:
