Screen Overview

This screen is used to print a transaction register showing only account adjustment transactions and transaction reversals posted to member accounts. This is a great alternative to the full General Transaction Register report (Tool #381: General Transaction Register) because it breaks out only this special type of activity, without including things like teller transactions, phone transfers, and the like.

Use this Report

  • To run a detail report to list all account adjustment transactions made to change fund using an offset G/L = 739.00 to help locate a change fund offage.

  • To run an detail report to list all account adjustment transactions made to a suspense G/L using an offset G/L = 870.XX to help a locate suspense offage.

  • To run a detail report to find account adjustment transactions that threw your share G/L 901.00 off by using a Member G/L account # = 901.00.

Practical Uses of this Report

Use this report to find transactions that may relate to G/L account offages by using a specific offset G/L account and transaction date.

How Do I Create this Report?

This report lets you product two reports (detail with summary or just summary). You can run this report for transactions posted during the current month, for the prior month or from history. This report uses Origin Code = 08 to look at only account adjustment transactions; you can use the G/L field to narrow your results down further. Optional fields are the application type, transaction code/type, transaction date, branch, member G/L account number, member account, offset G/L account number or employee ID.

  • NOTE: ATM/Debit reversals do not appear on this report.

How Do I Save/Retrieve My Report Settings?

For more details on setting up this feature, refer to the Automating Reports and Queries booklet, available on the CU*BASE Reference page. 

This report can be used with the “Report Scheduler,” a time-saving automation feature that allows you to select and save the filters you use to run several commonly used reports and then set these reports to be run automatically by our operations staff on the first of the month.  Or you can save the settings and run them manually by yourself at any time.

To save your report settings, first select your filters, including printer (can be a physical printer or the HOLDxx or MONTHxx OUTQs).  Then select Save Settings (F24).  On the next screen name your settings (we recommend adding your name!), and designate whether you wish to run this manually or if you wish for operations to run the report.  At a later time, use Retrieve Settings (F23) to populate the screen with the settings you have saved.  You can also edit your settings using Retrieve Settings (F23).  All saved settings can be viewed on the Report Automation: Standard Reports screen.
