Learn how the Batch Manager Tool processes check amounts and donation totals using CAR/LAR technology, and the logic it follows for any discrepancies.

The Batch Manager Tool (BMT) has state-of-the-art Check Amount Recognition/Legal Amount Recognition (CAR/LAR) technology. If you scan checks, the BMT automatically reads the amount from the check image and enters your donation total. If you import donations from a file, the BMT also enters the donation total.

The BMT compares the CAR/LAR, and if there is a discrepancy between the two, it uses the following logic to select which one to auto-populate as the amount for the donation:

If the BMT can't read the total or you manually entered the donation, add the appropriate donation total. Then you can distribute the donation total to the appropriate programs.
