Electronic check presentment system and method having an item sequence capability
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of processing banking transactions comprising:
- receiving at a computer memory an electronic cash presentment (ECP) file, the ECP file containing first records representing paper-based banking transactions;
for each of the first records, assigning a unique first item sequence number to each respective first record using a computerized sequence assignment module;
receiving the paper-based banking transactions after having received the ECP file;
generating second records representing the paper-based banking transactions using a computerized record assignment module;
generating digital images of the paper-based banking transactions;
for each of the second records, assigning a unique second item sequence number to each respective second record using the computerized sequence assignment module;
correlating the first and second records using a computerized correlation module; and
electronically discarding the second item sequence numbers such that the second records are indexable according to the first item sequence number wherein the second records and the digital images are linked to the first records by the first item sequence number.

Abstract
A system and method for performing Electronic Check Presentment (ECP) processing. The system and method employ digital imaging techniques to digitally image the physical checks as they arrive subsequent to posting of the ECP items. The images are electronically linked to the data records that represent the checks. During the proofing process, in which the data records for the ECP items are validated against the data records for the physical items, the records are updated such that the posting date and ISN number for the data records for the physical items reflect the posting date and ISN number of the ECP items. As the digital image of the check is electronically linked to the data records, the image is thus carries the posting date and ISN of the ECP item.
