CNS offers our clients a variety of solutions to maintain software hygiene on their networks. Most of these solutions are automated, and with user cooperation to complete reboots, it's relatively easy to keep your systems up to date with current software versions. However, there are some important limitations to the automated processes that are important to understand. This article presents those considerations. For Complete Care Clients that do NOT Elect Third Party Patching Services:   More...

In the past, when reporting credit cards to the bureau, CU*Answers sends the maximum disbursement limit field for both the high credit amount and the max credit limit fields. Effective with the CU*BASE 11.4 Software Release (Nov/Dec 2011), a change was made so that this is no longer true. For open-end loans, we will report the larger of the Crrent Blance or the calculated High Credit Amount. Since members can draw on these loans at any time, the High Credit Amount will be determined using the   More...

Make sure that drivers for the printer are loaded on the PC on which you are building the session. Test the drivers by printing a windows test page unless you are using a thermal receipt printer. DO NOT SEND WINDOWS TEST PAGES TO THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTERS! Once you know the printer is set up correctly, then perform the following steps: 1) Go to Start>Programs>IBM Client Access Express>Emulator>Start or Configure Session. 2) Select Configure. 3) Set the System Name to WESCPROD.  More...

CU*BASE uses phone numbers that are stored in the MASTPH file when generating card activation information to send to vendors on initial card orders. The numbers in MASTPH are determined by the label/flag applied in Tool #3 Open/Maintain Memberships/Accounts or Tool #15 Update Membership Information as follows: Nighttime # - primary phone number sent to vendor and defaulting into the Card Activation field when ordering a card. Daytime # - secondary phone number sent to the vendor. Mobile –   More...

Your credit union can elect to print the DBA name instead of the primary member name on all standard (non-custom) correspondence (use the link below to see the list of documents). This flag will be turned off by default. With the CU*BASE 9.2 release (August 2009), this flag is set as part of the Membership Designation code configuration, which means that you can set it differently depending on the type of membership. For example, you might want to use the member's name on most memberships  More...

Yes. We call that the “classical” budgeting method and you can do this without using any of the modeling tools if you like. You’ll still need to do steps 1 2 to configure your chart of accounts, then proceed directly to step 9 and budget all of your income and expenses using the same technique, using as many passes as needed for different calculation parameters.

There are two ways to accomplish this: The first way is to use the Marketing Opt-Out flags on the member's MASTER record. Introduced in the CU*BASE 9.2 release (August 2009), these are two flags that can be checked to exclude the member from third-party marketing communications and/or CU-related marketing commnunications. See the Opt Out link below to read more about the use of these flags. When creating a database file using Member Connect tools, or the CU*BASE List Generator, or even t  More...

Yes, the Statement Mail Groups feature lets you configure up to 9 codes that can be attached to a member's account. The codes specify whether statements should be printed and archived (the standard method) or just archived only. This is used in situations such as for members with written-off loans or bankruptcy situations where the member shouldn't receive a statement, or even if you want to avoid printing statements for your own staff. Archived statements are available through CU*SPY  More...

If the configuration has a rate of 0.000, Audio Banking will not read any message for that rate, even if one was originally recorded. For example, say you have requested a message to be recorded for item #9 on the configuration, but then you forget to go in and actually enter the rate into your configuration, or you accidentally delete the rate later. That recording will never be read to the member. Once you go in and enter a rate in position 9, then message #9 will be read along with that ra  More...

No, CU*BASE cannot automatically remove the 08 Payment Stopped code from an ACH distribution record. ACH stop payments are tricky. Since an ACH stop payment is only valid for a specific payment, the system would have no way to determine which payment it was applicable for as it’s not easily identified by simply using the posting date. Often the information needed is located in other optional fields of the ACH record such as company descriptive date. For instance, if a member is NSF for  More...

Print session functionality will remain the same, but the shortcuts will have a new image. Below, we cover the changes to the upgrade installation process and the new print sessions.

The easiest way to find out the status of the warranty is to call Dell. The first thing that should be done is find the Express Service Code . This is a 10-digit numerical code that is located on the PC. Once the Express Service Code is found call Dell Customer Support at 1-800-456-3355.

Magic-Wrighter Per your credit union contract with MagicWrighter, your credit union advises Magic-Wrighter what you wish the limits to be for the following timeframes. These are per day. per all credit union transactions (both member and accounts payable) as follows: Maximum Per Transaction Limit ( any one single transaction) Total Daily Limit ( all items/all members in one day ) 48-Hour Limit ( all items/all members in 2 days ) 10-Day Limit ( all items/all members in 10 days ) 30-Day Limit ( a  More...

Unfortunately Intuit has made it very clear they will not work with us on your behalf, and generally will work only with their paying customers (your credit union or your member). However, here are a few things to suggest to your members that might help narrow down where the problem lies: Ask them to make sure they can log in manually. If they can't log in manually, Intuit won't be able to, either. There are two sites to try: Standard site: https://www.bizlink247.com/###/authenticatio  More...

Dashboard lists like this are limited (by our core IBM platform) to a maximum of 9,999 records. Certain analysis features that count and display summary information are able to deal with much higher quantities of records, of course, but any program that lists records one after the other, the way these dashboards do (it's sometimes referred to as a subfile ), cannot accommodate more than 9,999 individual items in the display. That's one of the reasons we include so many filters so you   More...

No, you can still see a list of all accounts in the Full Account Summary, including a column for due dates in the Loans section. (Tip: Sub-totals under each section were also added as of 11/9/2021.) Remember that the home page is just a list of favorite accounts, not the full account summary, which is why it’s not separated into categories and doesn't include as much info (like loan due dates). If you scroll to the end of that list and click the Full Account Summary link, you get the  More...

Yes! The Call Report software is able to calculate more than one automation routine for the same NCUA account code. This is especially useful for the loan areas of the Call Report when you need to gather information from various codes (purpose, security, category, G/L) for the same NCUA category or if you have off-trial-balance (OTB) loans and in-house loans that fall into the same NCUA category. Each automation routine is set up separately then is automatically added together to provide the   More...

When using Tool #990 Work With Accounts Payable Vendors to verify your 1099 vendor information, take special care that you are entering the correct 1099 box number from the 2020 1099-MISC form instructions; especially paying attention to box numbers that changed, including 7, 9, 10, 12, and 14. As an example, if your vendor reports Gross Proceeds Paid to an Attorney , that was previously box 14 and is now reported in box 10, so in order to report this correctly you must change the 14 to 10 on t  More...

To answer this question, first an understanding is needed of why mortgage products - specifically 360-interest calculation mortgage products - can allow this feature. These types of loan products must follow a set of rules with very strict guidelines, such as payment frequency, partial pay restrictions, payment matrix settings, expectations for delinquency and fines, and so on. Because of these strict guidelines, special member-facing messages could be created to deal with situations such as wh  More...
