Using Multiple Payment Instruments for different check layouts

[shooter65]

I am running World v7.3. With the new Canadian check format requirements we had to get new check stock printed.
We print checks on our Canadian bank accounts that must adhere to the new format but most of our checks are printed on US accounts that we are still using our old format for. We have over a years worth of stock for the US accounts and don't want to scrap all those checks and get new ones printed to match the Canadian format. I am trying to figure out how to have the system pick the correct format based on Bank acct or some other logic. Is this built in to JDE v7.2? I see in the F0417 file that there is a field for Bank Acct-G/L. I have been told that you can only have one Payment Instrument set up for all checks and you have to manually change it every time you print checks with a different layout. I can't believe JDE wouldn't have a way to print different layouts for different accounts. Please Help.
Thanks!

Well, you can have multiple payment instruments. Where I am at, we use
one for US EFT/ACH, a second one for Mexico EFT/ACH, a third one for US
paper checks, and a fourth one for Mexico paper checks. The payment
instrument is tied to the Check Write program. So if you have two check
formats, you will need two check writing programs, and thus two payment
instruments codes. You then key in the Supplier Master the payment
instrument you want to that supplier to default to. It sounds like you
have no knowledge of the A/P Check processing process in JDE. You may
be wise to contact Oracle/JDE support, as your need for assistance may
be beyond the scope of what can be done via this list.
