  • For auditors to monitor members flagged with wrong addresses, as well as members who enrolled in e-Statements but have wrong email addresses.

Practical Uses of this Report

Use this report to find totals of transactions by origin code to analysis the activity for the month. Use this report to find a group of transactions offsetting a specific primary G/L or specific offset G/L.

For auditors, use this report to monitor members flagged with wrong addresses, as well as members who enrolled in e-Statements but have wrong email addresses.  This report allows the selection of activity by transaction code, origin and type (to allow for the selection of EFT transactions that require the production of a statement).  Filter the report results to just the members you need to monitor.  Use the “Export report to file” feature to create a file of these members for use in Report Builder and Member Connect.

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.

o 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.

Staging of Screen for Printing a List of ACH Transactions Posted Today Through the ACH Exceptions Post Function

·NOTE: In this example, the report is staged to list all the member transactions that posted on October 11, 2012 by Employee AA that were offset to G/L 870.11. Employee will use this report every day to verify the transactions they posted to the member’s accounts from the ACH Exceptions Screen using the Post option (function).

  • NOTE: In this example, the report is staged to list all the member transactions that posted on September 30, 2012 by Employee AA that were offset to G/L 870.11. In this example, we are using the End-of-Month file for September. Employee will use this report to verify the transactions they posted to the member’s accounts from the ACH Exceptions Screen using the Post option (function) from the previous month, when needed.
