BKRC - xxCKDATE

Convert the "Date" for Bank Reconciliation File
This is one code of many that builds an upload file for loading a bank statement into the BK Update Bank Statement Info (BKUPBA) page via BK Load Bank Reconciliation File (BKUTLB) utility. The various BKRC common codes help BusinessPLUS read bank records, interpret bank codes, tell BusinessPLUS where in the upload file to read specific details, and more. Additionally, BKUTLB and BKUPBA require the upload file to be bank specific where xx represents a valid bank ID (also known as a CKID or check stock).
BKRC/xxCKDATE is required for loading the bank's processing date into BKUTLB, BKUPBA, and BKUPCD. This code indicates the date that the "document" was officially recognized by the bank. The "document" may be a check, deposit, interest, or other Document Type; these documents are records within the bank statement file. Additionally, this date serves many purposes within the BK database. The CKDATE starts as the "Clear Dt" on the BKUTLB's report of file data (verify date parses correctly). Once the statement is loaded successfully into BKUPBA, the CKDATE is then titled "Entry Date." Then after the matching process is performed for the statement using BKUPRC, the record held in BKUPCD will be updated with a "Cancel Date," which is the CKDATE. In summary, the CKDATE is the Entry date, Clear Date, and the Cancel Date.
The Medium Desc field holds a date format code. Review the options below and identify the format that best fits the description of the bank's date format.
Create the file and run BKUTLB in trial mode before committing to load a file. Again, verify the date parses correctly. Also verify the system reads the file correctly and fully before proceeding.
