Screen Title:	Statement Batch Processing Creation
Panel Number:	1307
Accessed by Tool Number:	5216

This screen is used to create a statement work file. Work files are used to capture data and identify members who should receive a statement for this period. This process takes a snapshot of your configuration settings, including which members should receive a statement and what data elements should appear on it, and saves it using a unique Statement ID. (For example, if you are doing a monthly statement run, the process will create an ID with the statement format name and a sequence number, such as MN001.) It also gathers all of the member, account, and transaction data that will be used to create the statements into a series of statement work files.

You can select the Statement format ID by entering it in the field provided or by selecting it from the list below.

After filling in the screen prompts, Press Enter to continue. The next screen displayed will identify the statement ID for this run. Make note of it, then press Enter to continue. Wait until processing is completed before proceeding to the next task.

Field Descriptions

Field Name	Description
Job queue	If checked, the job will be submitted to subsystem QBATCH. IMPORTANT: If you do send this to batch, you MUST wait until it is completed before proceeding to subsequent steps, or you may end up with a partial statement run. HINT: If you submitted the job to batch, while the job is processing, you’ll see an entry in batch that reads CREATE#xx (where xx is your CUID).
Statement format ID	Enter in the correct statement ID period or select the desired one from the list below. You probably have a Monthly (MN) and a Quarterly (QT) configuration, plus there may be others for special situations, such as for a semi-annual statement.
Statement period	Enter in the current statement period equal to current statement ID period. For example, if using your Monthly statement ID, the From date must be the first of a month and the To date must be the last day of a month. For a quarterly run, enter the first and last date of the calendar quarter (such as 01/01/xx and 03/31/xx) instead.
Statement reprint from previous statements	Check this field ONLY if directed to do so by a Client Service Representative. Always contact CU*Answers for direction if you need to reprint statements!!
Date for EOM files	Enter in the month and year of the ending month of the statement period. This tells the system which month-end files to use when pulling statement data. So if you are running February 2021 statements in early March, you would enter 0221.
