This occurs when the release includes changes to the files that your Query uses. For example, if we add a new field to the MASTER file, any Query you have that uses that file will display an error message. Fortunately, it is very easy to refresh your Query so that you can use it again. All you need to do is access the Query and save it. That's all. You don't have to make changes to it, it's just important that you save it so it can refresh itself to match the new file layout.   More...

For things like expanded balance and transaction $ amounts, Query will automatically adapt to larger amounts, and you generally won’t need to do anything. (The only exception is if you send the output to a vendor, they’ll need to be made aware of the larger amounts. Or perhaps if your report is completely full side to side and you need to remove a column in order for everything to still fit across a printed page.) As far as dates, if a date was formerly 3 separate fields for year  More...

Yes. There is an Amortization Default option available in each of your Loan Product Code configurations which allows credit unions to default amortization criteria such as: Delinquency Fine Code, Rate, Payment Frequency, # of Payments etc. The system will then default this value into the applicable fields when creating a new loan request. These defaults are intended to provide consistency for all new loan requests, but can be changed/edited during the loan request process if necessary.

Whenever you add files to your Query definition or remove files from it, you also need to refresh the automation configuration, which is basically just a list of the files needed by the Query and must match the Query definition. See the link below for step-by-step instructions.

If you are interested in being able to find out how many mobile phone numbers you have in your database, instruct your team to take advantage of the Mobile phone checkbox, which can be checked for any stored contact number.

Previously, credit unions used Code 38 for “Return to Maker”, but this code is no longer available in the system. This change was initiated by a Reg CC change in 2018. Now, if you are presented with a situation where you need to return a check to another institution, it is recommended that you use one of these codes to clarify the reason for the check return. Some codes allow you to make the change in CU*BASE. Others require that you contact your Check Item Processor. Read below for   More...

A 1096 IRS Tax Form is required if an institution is filing your IRS Tax file using paper format. Since CU*Answers transmits your IRS Tax File electronically this form is not required to be completed.

These reports contain the totals for each tax form type created.

Since the system will be unable to respond with a balance, it will also be unable to log the text message against the member's account number, which means it cannot be included when fees are tallied. So although the member may still be charged by their mobile phone provider for text messages they send, they will not be charged the usual text message fees by the credit union via CU*BASE (nor with the credit union be charged for that item).

It is NOT suggested that a CU place a stop or a reversal on a Fiserv ACH debit.
