There are several options available. CU*Answers can create special data entry screens for you to use to load in current balance, accrued interest, and YTD interest/dividends. Your Merger Coordinator will work with you on the sequencing of these fields, based on the trial balance reports or spreadsheets you will be using from the merging credit union's data processor.
Another option is to build Direct Mail Post Groups. A group can be set up for each Dividend Application and Loan Category, each with a unique General Ledger Suspense account. All of the money for each DIVAPL and Loan Category should be put into their respective GLs via journal entry, then as the Direct Mail Post Groups are posted, the accounts should zero out.
Please contact the Conversion Team at CU*Answers with any additional questions you have or clarification you may need.
