Setting up Positive Pay for CenPOS

If you are implementing a Positive Pay program, use these instructions if you have retained the CenPOS company to be responsible for managing each bank's Positive Pay program formats and ensuring that the check data is delivered to the bank(s) in the format appropriate to their program. Your CenPOS representative should provide your assigned Merchant ID, Merchant User ID, Merchant User PW (password), and Positive Pay Processing URL for each bank.

If you are creating a new bank, see the online Help for setting up a bank.

  1. Select Check Reconciliation > Setup > Bank.
  2. Specify the bank, select Active in the Status field, and then click Search.
  3. In the grid, drill down to show the bank record.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. In the CenPOS Processing section, specify this information:
    Merchant ID
    Specify the default merchant ID assigned and provided by CenPOS. Contact your CenPOS representative. Merchant ID is an ID assigned to the distributor by CenPOS. The Merchant ID issued by CenPOS to identify the bank account where the distributor's payment will be withdrawn.
    Note: If you are setting up Positive Pay with CenPOS, and setting up another service with CenPOS, such as Credit ACH, and they both apply to the same bank account, you are required to have a merchant ID, user ID and user password loaded on the CR Bank Setup record. If they use separate bank accounts in the same bank, we recommend you set up separate CR Bank Setup records: one for Positive Pay and one for Credit ACH.
