How can I track Miscellaneous Items?

To track the sale of Miscellaneous Receipt Items, review the Miscellaneous Receipt Monthly Analysis.

You can use this screen to perform several functions, such as purchasing money orders, traveler's cheques, or postage stamps. You could also use it for temporary services, such as the purchase of credit union annual meeting tickets. You can also use Miscellaneous Receipts to transfer funds to an OTB account, for example to make a loan payment. All miscellaneous receipt codes are credit union-defined.

Once all fields have been filled in, use Enter to validate all entries. Nothing is posted, but the system will check for any errors and display error messages as needed. When done, use Post (F5) to post this receipt and clear the screen for the next item. After all items have been posted, use F8-Bypass to return to the previous screen.

NOTE: A miscellaneous receipt code can be configured to automatically charge a fee (sales tax or other fee) without the need to enter a separate miscellaneous receipt code for the fee. SEE: Miscellaneous Posting Code configuration. If the fee is charged as a flat fee using this method (as opposed to a percentage fee) each item will need to be added individually.

Miscellaneous Receipts: Phone Op vs. Teller Posting

This miscellaneous receipt screen differs from the one used by the teller posting system. In the phone system, the transaction is posted and marked as a direct withdrawal from the member's account. In teller posting, the transaction is handled as a cash payment on the miscellaneous receipt.

For example, if a member wants to make a cash purchase of traveler's checks, the teller posting area is appropriate. However, for a purchase of traveler's checks directly from a member account, the phone system is best, because the member's inquiry and statement screens will show the withdrawal for miscellaneous receipts.

Payments to an Off Trial Balance (OTB) Account

If you wish to make a payment or transfer to an OTB account (such as a loan payment), select a Miscellaneous Receipt code from the list to be used for OTB transfers. You will move to a listing of OTB accounts for the member. Once you select an account you will return to this screen where you can enter additional miscellaneous receipt items on the screen.

See Configuring Miscellaneous Codes NOTE: If the fee has been configured as a flat fee, each item will need to be entered individually, for example, each traveler’s check will need to be charged individually. If the fee is a percentage of amount fee, then all items can be charged in one transaction.
Ending Balance	The member's account balance after all miscellaneous receipts have been deducted.

Buttons

Description

Post (F5)

Use this to post the transaction and clear the screen for the next entry. A receipt will print at this time.

Skip (F8) (not shown)

This will behave differently depending on whether or not Post (F5) has been used. If you use Skip (F8) before posting, it will cancel any entries and return to the previous screen.
