This can be accomplished either via Tool #324 and Tool #889.

• Place a stop pay on the check(s) using Tool #324 CU Check/Bank Reconciliation. Then either create the check(s) for the various states unclaimed property offsetting the outstanding check G/L, or create a journal entry moving the stop pay funds from the outstanding check G/L to a suspense G/L and post the unclaimed property checks offsetting the suspense G/L. By doing this the outstanding check G/L stays in balance, and there is an audit trail for the unclaimed property. If any checks that had a stop pay placed try to clear, the outstanding check G/L would go out of balance and the stop pay would be reflected on the PCKRXX report so that the checks can returned as stop pay.

• Launch Tool #889 Update CU Check History. We recommend that you update the trace number in the Trace # field enter "ESCHT.MM/DD/YY", where MM/DD/YY is the current date.  If you ever need to quickly locate escheated checks, you can query the CHKMS file for the TRACER field like '%ESCHT%'.
