Screen Overview
The “Check Disbursements” screen is used to produce a check written against a member's account. Enter the check amount and pay to information. The default fee appears in the Check Fee field, and can be changed if necessary. Use Enter to post and print the check. The screen will clear and the default fee will be reset. Continue creating checks, using Enter to process each one. When done, use F3-Backup to return to the previous screen.
(If the employee is configured as an “other staff” the pay to section not be automatically populated. This screen follows the Privacy Configuration.)
-
Because the checks go directly to the printer when Enter is used, be sure to have check paper ready to go before creating your first check.
BE CAREFUL: Once a check amount has been entered, you cannot back out of this screen without posting and printing the check.
NOTE: The name and address of the “Pay to” for this check will be printed on the middle portion of the check stub to fit into a standard window envelope. To keep it from being obvious that a check is enclosed, be sure to fold the check so that middle portion appears in the window. The account number will not be printed on the check stub.
Each Payee will be run through an OFAC scan. Each payee will receive a scan. If you create two checks for a payee (in sequence) the subsequent check will not receive a scan but if you alternate payees the payee will receive a scan the second time. (Mary, Bob, Mary = three scans, while Mary, Mary, Bob = two scans).
Pay to Fraud Block List
After the OFAC scan a Pay to Name fraud block list scan is run against the name entered in the Pay to line. Take care to enter the Pay to name in a way that the scan will most effectively be run. If the Pay To Name is a match or partial match to the name in the block list, you will see a Suspect warning message.
