Note

If you need to bypass check authorization, you must still populate the "Account" number field with the routing and account number found at the bottom of the check. Next, enter a random number (for example, your store number) in the Auth Code field. Remember, if you do this, the check will not be verified because the system will not consult Certegy for an authorization.
