Evergreen: post go live

The Evergreen check printing process went live during our OOD cutover without any issues. It took AP one “real” check run to come back with a list of items that they did not like. We have gone through several check runs, for testing and to submit to the bank for layout approval.

The first issue was minor. Not enough room for a second signature line no big deal.

Next was that the overflow print on check stock. This is standard functionality. No complaints have been made up to this point.

The next week, the envelope stuffing machine doesn’t work with the new checks.

Instead of just waiting for the list to trickle, quick meeting to gather all of the change requests. Only five major changes that were not considered essential when the project first started were given.

Change the signature line location (easy)
Change the overflows to pull from a separate tray (difficult)
Add separator lines for the envelope stuffing machine (same effort for separating overflows)
Add zip code postal bars
Separate the printing of the checks between checks needing a second signature (easy)

Time for the estimate, and wait for decisions on what is really essential.

Update: here are the changes that were implemented
