How can I change the open reason code stored on an active membership or account?

Screen Overview

This screen is used to update the detailed information recorded for a member Tax Escrow share account.

  • Use Secondary Names (F14) to update joint/misc. owner and/or beneficiary information for this sub-account. (CU*TIP: If this button has an exclamation point  next to it on the screen, there is at least one joint owner, misc. owner, or beneficiary on record.)

  • Use Checklist (F18) to move to the checklist for this dividend application. This will allow you to “check off” items on checklist when opening the account. This checklist can be used by your Member Service team to ensure each member receives the same level of service. (If this is your base (000) account, this checklist is also used as the membership checklist for the Open/Closed Dashboard.) SEE ALSO: Creating Checklists for information on configuring this list.

Custom Fields

Using custom fields your credit union can create and maintain unlimited custom fields that are unique to your credit union. You define the field name as well as the rules that control what data can be entered:  dollar amounts, quantity, percentage, text, yes/no checkbox, date, or a defined list (the selections of which you will also define) on the account custom data configuration screen, then input the data and view it in the Account Update screens (such as this screen) and viewed in Account Inquiry screens.  Learn more about Custom Data Fields.

  • An exclamation point on the Custom Fields button indicates that custom data has already been input for this account.  Click the button to access a screen and view the data or input additional data.

Integration between CU*BASE and Your Imaging Solution

This screen has a link to your imaging solution to further integrate with CU*BASE.  The “Scan e-Document” button is used for scanning a document into your imaging solution.  The “View e-Document” button is for retrieving images from your imaging solution.

  • Remember: Only documents warranted by the CU*Spy online vault can be scanned into that vault.

  • Clients with in-house imaging solutions should contact Imaging Solutions for assistance configuring links for use with your vault.

G/L account

The G/L offset account for this account type.

NOTE: If this account number is changed on an existing account, the system will write an entry to GHIT in order to move the balance of the account to the other account as part of the nightly TR journal entry. (You will see the entry on your books the next day.) The GL entered here must match the GL that’s configured on the dividend application code.  

Suspend escrow analysis

Check this checkbox to exclude an account from escrow analysis. This allows you to remove accounts from the analysis while you research problems with the account. (A checkbox here is recorded as a Y in the MEM4F2 field in MEMBER4, so you can use Query for a listing of escrow accounts that have been excluded.) When you are ready to include these accounts in your analysis, simply uncheck this checkbox.

The total number of withdrawals made from the account during the current month.

# of Transfers

(blank) Account will earn dividends normally according to the product configuration.

N - Account should not earn dividends for the current dividend period only. After dividends are posted for the period, the system automatically resets this flag back to “blank” so that dividends will be paid as normal.
