Abstract

The system described herein provides a capability for automatically processing documents such as bank checks, deposit slips, loan payments, etc., from all points within a banking organization, with exception of the point of receipt, based on the utilization of a Source Item Control Number (SICN), which uniquely identifies a document at all subsequent processing points. Processing at the source point of receipt is semi-automatic in that the first person to handle the document within the organization is generally required to key or otherwise manually enter certain data related to the document.
