Mekorma Adds Multi-Batch Management Feature to MICR

Microsoft Dynamics GP ISV Mekorma has added a multi-batch management feature to its MICR check enhancement for GP.

Mekorma MICR with Multi-Batch Management (MMM) improves efficiency and accuracy in companies' AP processes by automating the time-consuming process of individually creating, printing and posting payable batches, according to Mekorma CEO Ora Goldman.

MMM offers customers an easy way to create payment batches, print checks, generate electronic funds transfers (EFTs), and SafePay files from multiple checkbooks and across companies.

"Sometimes, depending on the volume for a company, it can take anywhere from half a day to a full week to process their payments."

Then every week you just pull up the rules you want to run and it will go across all checkbooks and ...
