A check route indicates via which domestic collecting bank a payment documented can be collected.

Depending on the type of collection document (e.g., order check, travellers check, etc.) and the country on which it is drawn, a collecting bank can be chosen from the addresses stored in the system. All payment documents with the same criteria for “Country” and “Payment document” can then be sent to this collecting bank.

If a default account has been defined, then this account along with the associated settlement code will be used for the settlement in the remittance creation.

There is a further option to modify the check route control on a customer-specific basis. By way of example, a more sophisticated control for country = 'Germany' has been implemented in the standard product. This is achieved by using the group of banks defined via the 4th digit of the German clearing code ('Bank Identifier'), or the 8th digit of the IBAN, respectively. In addition, a more sophisticated check route control has been implemented for the bank group of the savings banks and 'Landesbanken' according to clearing code districts (the first 3 digits of the clearing code).
