CHECK RECONCILIATION FUNCTIONAL FEATURES:
The primary objective of the Check Reconciliation System is to process
check information in an online environment so that specific procedures are
performed in seconds rather than the hours required by traditional batch
methods of computer processing. This system performs the basic check
reconciliation functions by providing a complete and accurate record of all
check transactions affecting each vendor and employee.
Specific functional features of this online Check Reconciliation System
are highlighted below:
1. Maintain Check Records containing dollar amounts paid to vendors,
employees and others.
2. Identify the outstanding checks as of a specific date.
3. Print accounting reports, such as Check Register, Check Records
List and Outstanding Check Report, so that adequate audit control
is maintained.
4. Automatically calculate the average number of elapsed days between
the check issue date and the date the check clears the bank.
5. Interface with the Accounts Payable and Payroll Systems to
automatically accept Check Records from these systems when checks
are printed (issued).
6. Handle the entry of manually issued checks at the time manual
vendor and employee checks are entered online in those systems.
7. Provide inquiry capability (displaying information on a terminal)
to identify which checks have been issued to a specific payee
(vendor in the AP System or employee in the PR System).
8. Automatically identify missing check numbers (gaps in the check
number range) in the Check Register when check number option is
specified.
9. Accept bank input file of canceled checks to update Check Records
as cleared rather than manually.
10. Handle multiple bank accounts, however the check numbers must be
unique within each Bank-ID.
11. Provide auxiliary input capability for importing issued checks and
cleared checks created by other computerized systems.
12. Provide the capability to create custom CR reports where the user
defines the data fields to be selected and printed (DB12).
13. Provide import and export capability (CR09) using any PC ASCII file
(comma separated fields) containing issued or paid checks.
14. Automatically display a detail record (Check Record) when function
key F7 is pressed for inquiry procedure CR05.
15. Define an Active Flag to prohibit the current entry of check
information for a specific Bank-ID and Location Code, yet reference
these codes for historical reporting purposes.
16. Handle any fiscal year for accounting purposes, even one different
from the calendar year, through the use of a separate accounting
period number (YRMO).
17. Verify the check amount is greater than zero (positive).
18. Verify the state code and ZIP code (first 3 digits) associated with
the payee address. The Canadian province code is validated when
the ZIP code is not numeric.
19. Automatic payee code assignment whenever the payee name initials
are entered as the payee code. Payee name initials are manually or
automatically set in the Check Record.
20. Monitor the dates when a check is issued and when a check is
cleared (paid by) the bank.
21. Update multiple checks at one time as cleared by specifying a check
number range in procedure CR02 to speed manual data entry when
necessary.
22. Provide source document control over input transactions to the
computer by establishing batch numbers.
23. Provide system options in the Company Control Record to handle
6-digit or 8-digit dates for Y2K compliance.
As computer checks are issued to vendors, employees and others during
the accounting period, they are also entered into the Check Reconciliation
System automatically by the Accounts Payable System and the Payroll System
if System-Option-20 (DB03) is set to "1". Otherwise, issued checks are
entered online by procedure CR01 or by batch input using procedure CR08.
