  42. G/L Allocations – Preplanning Decide the level of allocation: • Relationship Level • Account Level Map out the accounts and amounts that you want allocated: • What percentage of the expense goes where? • Do earnings credits come into play? • What GL accounts will you be using (optional)?

Remember Check the “Use for GL Export” box to engage the allocation.

  44. G/L Expense Allocation Results Once your allocations are set; you select “Export GL Data” under the main File menu and save the allocation for review. Note: This is just a flat file (.csv) • You can convert this data to any format, then upload it to your GL. • You can even pull this data into a spreadsheet and add additional information.

  45. G/L Expense Allocations • Ensure the structure of the statements you're trying to export precisely match the structure of the bank setup. • Ensure each of the statement accounts being exported contains one of the following codes in the Balance Section of the statement: • 00 03 00 - Service Charges - Total - Current Period • 00 03 A0 - Service Charges Invoiced • SC - Total Service Charges-Current Period and one of the following: • 00 02 40 - Earnings Allowance • 8 - Earnings Credit • For General Ledger amounts that are negative, ensure that Excess Earnings Credit Account Allocations are set up.

G/L Allocations - Advantages • Quick distribution of charges • Better expense control • Variable allocation methods: • At the Relationship Level • At the Account Level • Some portion at the Corporate Level • Some portion at the Unit Level • Easy exporting • The .CSV file can be imported to a General Ledger or used to invoice other business units.

  47. Bulk Statement Archive

  48. Bulk Statement Archive • Allows users to do a bulk archive of statements based on a date range. • The archive can be based on individual banks or all banks.

  49. Bulk Statement Delete After the statements have been archived, users can use the Automatic Statement Archive to delete archived statements. Only statements that have been archived will be deleted using the bulk deletion. This is handled the same way as archiving but the user would select the delete option. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DELETING STATEMENTS WILL PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE DATA FROM YOUR DATABASE AND CANNOT BE UNDONE.
