A Misc. Receipt Posting code was set up with the "Credit entry location" set to blank, which according to online help means to use the teller branch number. If an active teller posts a MR transaction through Phone Operator, it does not write out to the teller’s branch number. Instead, it writes out to branch 01. Is this how the process should work?
The reason the M/R code is not writing out with the teller's branch number is because it is being done through Phone Operator. Phone Op is actually posting to the member branch regardless of this configuration. The transaction is a bit different than teller because it’s built with a TRANS record with a direct connection to the offset GL rather than a teller audit key with an EOD GL interface for misc receipts. The trans record posts the member branch to both the member and teller bra More...

What causes a member check to be returned as 'Refer to Maker'?
Code 38 - Refer to maker is assigned by the financial institution receiving the original check. Refer to maker should only be used in extraordinary situations where the other three specific reasons (NSF, account closed, or endorsement missing) do not fit the reason the check is being returned. Some financial institutions tend to abuse the refer to maker reason by applying it to every check they return no matter the reason. In addition to the three reasons mentioned above, refer to maker More...

2017 Device Name Expansion Project
Due to the growth of our network, during 2017 we will be changing the naming convention we use for CU*BASE devices (printers and workstations).

When a database table (file) is expanded or reformatted as part of a development project, what kinds of adjustments might need to be made on my custom Queries that use that table in the definition?
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...

What if I still want to use my own method for calculating my savings and loan projections but want to store the budget in CU*BASE?
You can use a third party tool to work your asset and liability projects and the associated income and expenses. Just remember that you can only upload the income and expense figures into your budget. The upload tool does not support uploading resulting balances for asset and liability G/Ls.

When I create my budget in CU*BASE using the asset/liability modeling tools, is there a special technique I have to use to keep assets equal to liabilities and equity on my balance sheet? For example, if I project $10 million in growth of loans and $10.5 million growth of shares, the $500K difference has to go somewhere so the total assets and liabilities are in balance. In the past I’ve used budgeting software that has a balancing account that acts as either a cash account or a borrowing account, depending on where it is needed, to keep assets equal to liabilities and equity.
The CU*BASE Budget tools are not intended to project your entire balance sheet. While some software products do that, that was never our intent. Our purpose in modeling select assets and liabilities is to create a projection to be used to calculate the income and expense for the budget. It results in a few simple things: You can create reports to present how you see member balances growing in the future. You can create reports to present the actual member balance in comparison to your project More...

With the CU*BASE budgeting tools, can I project changes to my branches for the coming year, such as if I’m adding a branch or plan to reallocate member branch assignments at some point?
Yes. There is a technique for reviewing and manually adjusting branch allocation calculations for projected asset and liability balances. See the Budgeting with CU*BASE booklet for instructions. We’re also still looking at how we could automate some functions such as anticipating the closing of a branch and reallocating those expenses and income to other branches mid-year. NOTE: The classical budgeting tools also contain a “Close a branch” function which zeros out monthly More...

When looking at the ATM/Debit or Credit Card Activity screen, what does the indicator in the Type and Transaction Description mean?
The fields are related to Process Codes, in that they are derived from the code attached to the message received from the plastics processor (vendor, or switch). The Type you see in the initial Type column of the Activity screen relates directly to the Transaction Description when you view additional transaction details. Transaction types may not apply to all vendors. Examples of these labels are as follows: DEP (Deposit Transactions) ATM/DEP A deposit made at an ATM. ATM/DEP - including a $ More...

How do I print a trial balance income statement with one column being this year's budget, a second column being the projected budget and a current year actual expenses. I want to compare budget to budget to review for variances.
One method is to use the the Begin +/- and End +/- fields (Toool #640 Print Financial Reports) to define a period for the report that is specific number of months before (-) or after (+) the Current Period Begin defined. Therefore with the Current Period Begin of January 2017, as shown in the screenshot below, the first column defined is reporting a period of January 2018 (plus 12 months from the Current Period Begin ) to December 2018 (plus 23 months from the Current Period Begin ). And the sec More...

We are thinking of activating the new See and Jump features for online banking. Can you explain the thinking behind the security, and why only an account owner can have this access?
There are two major points to consider when thinking about allowing members to see information beyond the account to which they are actually logged in. Both extend beyond online banking to consider a financial institution’s role and responsibility in protecting member private data via all access channels, from the teller line to a back office employee answering a phone call. (1) How does a credit union generally recommend or facilitate a member giving access to their private informatio More...

Why can't I write off a Student Loan using the "Write Off Loans" feature on the Collections Functions menu?
Because they require special government processing, any loans with a Process Type of 'S' (Student Loans in Interim) or 'P' (Student Loans in Payout), cannot be written off using the Write Off Loans option. You will need to re-create the loan under a different closed-end loan category (maybe a special one called 'Student Loans in Collections'). TIP: If desired, while creating the loan you can use the Override feature (from the Recap screen) to edit date fields, etc., so More...

What is a Source of Receipt and how do I get a copy of one?
Source of Receipt (SOR) is the paperwork that accompanies the checks to the Check Processor. It is the documented proof of when and from whom the checks were received. SOR provides the ABA# of the bank the checks are received from, the date of the cashletter, the amount of the bundle the check was in, the position of the check in the bundle (checks before after), and the tracer number assigned to the check. On the form you'll see a couple of abbreviations: IB stands for Item Before that More...

I have a husband and wife who both receive Social Security payments to the same membership. Now that CU*BASE uses the new way of handling ACH transactions from the SSA, these are causing duplicate distributions to be posted. What should I do if my members still wish for them to be separate transactions?
With the 16.10 release a new cross-reference system was implemented that automatically funnels all incoming company IDs from the Social Security Administration and treat them as if they came from one, consistent company ID we’re referring to as the “Primary ID.” In cases where the Depositor ID is the same, for example a husband and wife, these ACH transactions will be handled by the same master ACH distribution record under the Depositor ID since duplicate Depositor IDs are no More...
