Main Teller Posting Activities

This is the Main Teller Posting) screen which is used to post deposits and withdrawals to a members account.  It includes both funds in and member transactions on one screen. This screen enables you to post multiple withdrawals and deposits simultaneously. Whenever you use Enter, the system retrieves the Member Funds Received amount, adds the withdrawals and subtracts the deposits, and displays the difference as Cash Back.

This screen appears after theVerify Member screen in the teller posting process.

Non-Member Teller Posting

If you see asterisks on this screen, it may be due to the Currently Serving feature – learn more

Assisting Non-Members

NOTE: If you are performing services for non-members, this screen will appear slightly different. For complete information about activating and configuring non-member teller services, as well as how to qualify non-members for teller activity, refer to the Non-Member Teller Services booklet. (NOTE: A PDF version of this booklet will open.)

Assisting a Member Other Than the Primary Member (Currently Serving)

If you use the Currently Serving feature to assist a member other than the primary on the account, a yellow bar will appear above the sub account listing indicating that you are serving a member other than the primary member.  If this person is not a joint owner or co-borrower on the sub account certain fields will also show as asterisks in the withdrawal field. If you assist a non-owner using Currently Serving, then all of the fields will be masked.  Learn more about the Currently Serving feature.

Using the Teller Posting Screen

  1. Start by entering the total amount of cash into the Cash field.

  2. If any outside checks are being cashed or deposited, click the images\lookupbutton_shg.gif button to display the Outside Checks screen. Refer to this topic for information about inputting outside checks.

    • Any holds placed on accounts will be taken into account to determine the available balance of the account.

    • You can also enter the dollar amount of one or more checks in the Outside Checks field. Because this can be the combined amount of two check, the configured default number of days will be used to calculate the hold. To place separate or different hold number of days use the Outside Checks screen. This can be accessed by clicking the GO button to the left.

  1. If any in-house checks (checks that are drawn on your own credit union against another member's account) are being cashed or deposited, click the images\lookupbutton_shg.gif button to display the In House checks screen.

    In-house checks are entered separately, and must include the check number, check amount, and checking account number on which the check is drawn. If an in-house check is NSF (non-sufficient funds), or if a stop payment order has been placed on it, the system will alert you. If necessary, CU*BASE will use normal Overdraft Protection and/or ANR (Courtesy Pay) processing if appropriate. (If multiple checks are coming from the same member's account, they will be cleared in the order in which they were entered, so if you wish to process large checks before small ones, enter them in that order on the screen.)

    Tips on Inhouse Checks

  2. If you wish to purchase a miscellaneous receipt with the cash/checks being cashed, use Miscellaneous Receipts (F8) now. Any funds not used for the Misc. Receipt will be given as cash back. (If you want to deposit funds and purchase a Misc. Receipt, use the “R” Proc. Code instead.)

    • PLEASE NOTE: Transactions with Miscellaneous Receipts cannot also include a Corporate Draft or Money Order. In this case process them in separate transactions. Additionally, the Miscellaneous Receipt must be the last screen before posting. If you back out of the Miscellaneous Receipt screen the data on the screen will be lost and you will need to re-enter it.

If the cash back is to be carried over to another member's base account, use Enter to verify the data, then Bal Fwd/New Mbr (F9). This posts the current transactions and carries the cash back sum to the next transaction for a different member.  (If you need to post a second, separate transaction for this same member, use Bal Fwd/This Mbr (F11) instead. If there is cash back, it will be brought forward as funds in for the next transaction.)

If you wish to skip the normal receipt for this transaction, check the Suppress receipt option before using Post (F5). If you want to print a receipt as usual but keep the member's account balances from printing on the receipt, check the Suppressbalances on receipt option before posting.

Using the images\calculatecashback_shg.gif or using Enter on this screen simply updates the running totals (outside checks, in-house drafts, and total funds in). It does not post your transaction or advance you to the next screen.

When finished use Enter to verify the data, then use Post (F5).

Calculating “Cash Back”

Is your member depositing money (i.e. checks) and only want a specific dollar amount as cash back? Use the images\depositcalc_shg.gif button to calculate the amount you need to deposit – instead of using a calculator! Simply click the button to reveal a screen. Enter the desired cash bar and click the calculator button. Then right click on the deposit field where the member wants to deposit the funds, and select “Paste to Deposit.” The correct will be entered in this field.

Loan Delinquency Info and the “Payment Catch Up Calculator”

Notice the blue buttons that appear to the right of loan account suffixes.

On a regular loan or LOC account, this button will display the Delinquency info window. On a credit card loan, you can also access the new Payment Catch Up Calculator screen to help a member figure out what payment needs to be made to catch up a delinquent credit card account.

Note on entering Miscellaneous Receipts

View a Graphic or Text in the Lower Right Hand Corner? Next Suggested Product

If a task assigned to the member is designated as a “Next Suggested Product” task, this screen may have text or a graphic in the lower left corner of this screen.  If you place your mouse over this area, your mouse will change into a hand, indicating that you should click on this section of the screen.  Once you click this area, you will be taken to the Cross Sales Task screen where you will view only the that task.

Next Suggested Product is part of the Cross Sales feature and allows credit unions to alert employees that the member they are assisting is pre-qualified for a promotion offered by the credit union. For more information, refer to the booklet Cross Selling Credit Union Services and Next Suggested Product.

To remove the graphic so that you can post a transaction, click the X in this area.  This will display the posting fields.

Called “Account Nicknames,” these descriptions are assigned using the Update Account Nicknames feature, and can be viewed using the Toggle Nicknames button above the Description column (F21). Click for more information on this feature.

HINT: Did you know you can make nicknames display as the default when you first view this inquiry screen? Contact a client service representative to activate nicknames as the default. (self-processors can make this change using OPER Tool #5427 Master CU Parameter Config) This toggle key can then be used to see the standard description.

CLR Path Decision Advisor

CLR Path (Consumer Lending on Reputation) is a free tool that lets you evaluate the strength of your relationship with a member based on data in CU*BASE (such as length of membership and number of delinquencies), giving you tools without the need to pull (or pay for) a credit score. Get a new CLR Path score or see an existing one by clicking the following buttons: Get Advice and See Advice. If the feature is not activated, you can access the CU*Answers store to sign up.

Then use Miscellaneous Receipts feature to make a payment to an OTB account. SEE ALSO: Tracking “Off Trial Balance” (OTB) Products with CU*BASE.

Posting a Transaction at the Teller Line that Causes an Automated Non-Return Fee to be Charged

You can configure your Overdraft/ANR settings so that you can post a withdrawal, either with cash, check or money order, into the account's negative balance (ANR) limit.  Learn more in the Automated Non-Return (ANR) processing topic and in the Automated Non-Returns booklet.  A confirmation window will appear for each fee that will be charged. (Fees are charged per sub account that dips into the ANR limit and also per check/money order that dips into the ANR limit.)

Field Name

Description

Cash

Used to enter the total amount of cash tendered, including all bills and change.

Outside checks

Click the images\lookupbutton_shg.gif button next to Outside Checks to record all incoming checks drawn on other banks or credit unions (except for checks drawn on your own credit union that you are clearing through the Inhouse checks feature). You will move to the Outside Checks screen.

Inhouse checks

Click the images\lookupbutton_shg.gif button next to Inhouse checks to record all incoming checks drawn on your own credit union member accounts. You will move to the In house checks screen.

# items

This information appears only when fees apply for deposited items (according to your credit union policy and according to the dividend application) and when checks have been entered in the Outside Checks screen. It is a count of the checks deposited on the Outside checks screen. The quantity entered here is used in calculating any monthly fees charged by your credit union for depositing checks.

This field can be made input capable by using F13-Unlock # Items. (If you return to the Outside Checks field, these changes will be removed and will need to be readded upon re-entry to the Main Teller Posting screen.)

SEE ALSO:Configuring Deposit Item Fees

Total Funds in

A grand total of all cash, outside checks, and inhouse checks. Use Enter to refresh this total at any time.

Outside Checks/Days

Use this field to enter one or the combination of more than one checks without leaving this Teller Posting screen.

  • If one amount is entered for more than one check you will not be able to search your audit records by individual check amount.

Type

Enter the sub account that will be used to hold the check amount entered in the previous field.

Suppress receipt

Use this option if you do not wish to print the normal receipt for this transaction. The change will affect this transaction only.

Use this when posting a transaction received in the mail, or for any other situation where a receipt is not desired.

If you do this by mistake and the member does want a receipt after all, access the transaction history for this account and use the “Print receipt” feature to reprint that receipt.

  • CU*BASE still uses your workstation configuration to determine whether a receipt should be produced at all. If you are working at a workstation that never produces receipts anyway, ignore this option.

Suppress balances on receipt

Check this option if you want a receipt to print as usual, but do not want the member's account balances to be printed. The change will affect this transaction only.

This is helpful when someone else is performing a deposit on the member's behalf, and you do not want this individual to be able to see account balance information for the other member. NOTE: If you are using the currently serving feature to assist a non-owner, you will need to check this box if you do not want balance information to appear on the receipt.

  • CU*BASE still uses your workstation configuration to determine whether a receipt should be produced at all. If you are working at a workstation that never produces receipts anyway, ignore this option.

Total funds in

The total amount of cash and checks.

Check cashing/ negotiation fee

If your credit union has activated check cashing fees. This field will show the calculated check “negotiation” fee to be charged to the member for this transaction. If turned off, the fee will wave when deposits are entered or the M/R option is taken. This amount is automatically charged and the fee amount is subtracted from the Total Funds In amount.

Net total of transactions

This is a running total including all of the deposits and withdrawals indicated on this screen, less the check cashing/negotiation fee (if any). As you use Enter, this total is updated.

Cash back to member

This total takes the Total Funds In and subtracts the Check Cashing/Negotiation Fee (if any) and the Net Total of Transactions to show the amount of cash owed back to the member. This amount can also be carried forward to a different membership account using Balance Forward (F9).

Columns

Column Name

Description

Loan Payoff or Current Balance

For loans, this shows the current payoff amount. For share and certificate accounts, this field shows the current balance of the account. If this information is shown in asterisks, it is because the person you are currently assisting is not associated with this account. See Also: Currently Serving

Loan Payment or Net Available

For loans, this shows the periodic payment for the loan.

  • If a loan is delinquent, this field shows the amount needed to bring the loan current.

For other types of accounts, this field shows the amount currently available for release.

  • Available balance = Current balance minus uncollected funds (such as check holds and debit/credit authorizations, etc.), secured funds, and par value.

  • This amount may be larger than what’s shown in the Current Balance, if your credit union offers members the ability to dip into their Negative Balance Limit (referred to as ANR or Courtesy Pay) for a fee.  In that case the available funds includes the members’ negative balance limit minus your configured non-return fee. (When posting, a warning message will appear noting the fee amount that may apply to that transaction.)  See the Automated Non-Returns booklet for more details on offering ANR via Teller Processing.

Description

Shows the description of the account.  If a nickname is assigned to this account, it will show in this column if ShowNicknames (F22) is clicked. (Nicknames must first be activated by the credit union.)  

Type

The account number suffix.

Deposit (Deposit Amount and IRA)

These two fields, Deposit Amount and IRA, are used to designate the deposit or loan payment amount for each of the listed accounts.

Use the lookup to find the appropriate code.

  • NOTE: If making a deposit (payment) on a loan account, you may see a warning message if the loan is already set up to be paid via an Automated Transfer, or if making a payment that is different from the normal amount (this is controlled at the loan category level).

5032-WARNING Pmt scheduled via Auto Funds Transfer.  Use ENTER to continue.

5033-WARNING Paymt different from expected amount.  Use ENTER to continue.

These messages are designed to alert the teller of a possible double payment or incorrect data entry. If the payment is correct, the warnings can be bypassed and the transaction posted as needed.

Deposit Amount
