    our bank incorporated the payee on our positive pay file. we were using the 1st address line for DBA, etc or if the payee name is long. however, the bank is rejecting our checks because on their end, only the payee line is being recognized. hence, i have been manually approving our positive pay items if our vendor requires the 2nd line for the name (entered as 1st address line). maybe you can make the payee longer or allow for 2 lines?

    I was told by support to include BR.CKDESC to get the payee name to be included. One thing we will have to do before implementing this is review our vendor names because our file is comma-delimited - we need to remove any commas from existing vendor names or else it will interfere with our export file.

    You can ignore this request. I had training with Melody Takamori who helped me setup file. It���s working now.
