The In-House List Authorization Method Type is a list of references, such as driver's license number, to Customers who pay with checks and may represent either Customers who have written bad checks or Customers who do not write bad checks.
Types of In-House List:
A Bad Check List is used to limit or prevent check payments from Customers who write bad checks. The *All Unlisted References* entry's Amount field is set to the maximum amount for which a check may be written by Customers not referenced on the list. The Amount field for each reference to a Customer who writes bad checks is set to the maximum amount for which that Customer may write a check. Set the Amount to $0.00 for Customers who are not allowed to pay by check.
A Good Check List is used accept check payments from only Customers who write good checks. The *All Unlisted References* entry's Amount field is set to $0.00 to prevent Customers NOT on the list from paying by check (or it may be set to the maximum amount allowed to be paid by check). The Amount field for each reference to a Customer who is allowed to pay by check is set to maximum amount for which that Customer may write a check.
Setting Up an In-House List:
Create a new Authorization Method, enter a descriptive File Name such as BADCHK or GOODCHK, and select the In-House List Type from the list of Types. Set the *All Unlisted References* entry's Amount field according to the type of In-House List being created (see above paragraphs). Create an entry for each Customer using the Reference field to store the information (such as driver's license number) to be referenced when the Check Sales Payment Type is used as payment on a Sales Transaction. Use the Auth Method Button assign the In-House List Auth Method to the Check Sales Payment Type.
Using an In-House List:
The information entered in the Sales Payment Screen Reference Field when using the Check Sales Payment Type when completing a Sale Transaction is compared to the information from the Reference Field entries in the In-House List Auth Method assigned to the Check Sales Payment Type.
Important: The type of information entered in the Payment Reference field on a Sales Transaction must be the same as the type of information represented by Reference field in the In-House List. If the In-House List refers to driver's license number, than a driver's license number must be entered in the Sales Payment Reference field in order for the Authorization Method to work correctly.
