What is Business Date, Activity Date, and Activity Time?

Screen Overview

The Transaction Inquiry screen shows detailed transaction history for an account. This screen, called the Transaction History screen, shows transaction details for an account for one date.  With this view you can view all transactions from all dates in one screen and perform sorting features.

By default the screen will display the most recent group of transactions. You may use the Date,Draft #,Transaction amount, Description, and ID fields at the top of the screen to search for certain transactions, or use Page Up/Page Down to scroll through transactions.

  • Note:  A highlighted row indicates that the transaction was suppressed from the members' statement.

Viewing Secondary Transaction Description and Trans Seq #

On certain types of transaction records, such as shared branch transactions, ATM and ACH transactions, and online credit card activity, there will be additional descriptive information stored as a Secondary Trans. Description. This information can be viewed from this History screen two ways:

  • Use the Toggle Description button to switch the Tran Description between primary and the first 20 characters of the secondary trans. description in that column. Use the toggle again to return to the original display.

  • Select the item in the list and use Additional Transaction Information to display more transaction details, including the Transaction Sequence # for each individual transaction.

Viewing All Transactions for the Membership for a Combined Audit Tool - View Cashed Checks Too!

  • Use the Teller Cash Activity button (F2) at the top of the screen to view all of the membership transaction activity including shared branching transactions - all in one convenient place.  The subsequent screen will show not only transactions that hit the member’s account, but also teller drawer-only activity. This includes cashed checks, making it easy to research these types of transactions!

Viewing Secured Funds/Uncollected Funds History

While researching a member's account activity, it may also be helpful to see a history of activity that affected the Secured Balance and Uncollected Balance on the account. Remember that the Secured Balance (SECBAL) is used when calculating the member's available balance, along with the separate Uncollected Funds balance (UNCOLL). From this screen you can view the Secured Funds History (button at bottom of screen or F15) or the Uncollected Balance History (button at bottom of screen or F14)

Reprinting Teller Receipts

For transactions that were posted by the Teller Processing system, you can select the transaction in the list and click the dot in the Print Receipt column to display the Receipt data window. (If a dot is not present, a receipt is not available.) All of the transactions that occurred on that same receipt will be included automatically, including cash in/cash back, etc., just as on the original teller receipt. (There will be a “Reprint” notation at the bottom of the receipt.)

Remember this is only for Teller receipts, and receipt data is stored only for the past 90 days. Also, if the teller transaction was a shared branch transaction posted at another credit union for your member, you will NOT be able to reprint that receipt. (If a receipt cannot be reprinted, the message, “2833-Receipt not available for this transaction” will be displayed.)

  • HINT: The shared branch credit union may be able to reprint the receipt, if the transaction was within the past 90 days. Reprinting should be done via the Teller Drawer Audit screen.

If you have the CU*BASE e-Receipts system, select Retrieve e-Receipt to retrieve the stored receipt image, complete with signature (if any). This will require that that the appropriate e-Receipt and Photo ID Capture software (ProDOC™) be installed on your computer and that the receipt was made with this software. The receipt can be printed on any non-receipt printer, such as your normal reports printer.
