Viewing Form Numbers

The Form Numbers tab displays your credit union's master product codes, check form type, form description, and the form and revision numbers associated with the master codes. Only master code types F (form only) and B (both form and product) appear on the Form Numbers tab. Portico sets up the master forms table using the 9SV Transaction at the processing region level, thus creating the original Form Numbers tab for your credit union. You can use the Forms Information window to maintain the form and revision numbers.

The teller does not have to be open to access the Form Numbers tab for inquiry purposes. You can use the Form Numbers tab even if the Forms Management check box is not selected in the section on the Credit Union Profile - Products & Services tab.

To open the Form Numbers tab, under Teller Management on the Portico Explorer Bar, click Tasks & Activities. The Open tab appears on top. Click the Forms Management tab. The Movements tab appears on top. Click the Inquiries tab.

On the Inquiries tab, click the down arrow on the Select a Forms Inquiry Type drop-down box and select Form Numbers. The Form Numbers tab appears.

Column Heading	Description
Description	The description of the form.
Master Code	The master code of the form. The first two characters of each master code indicate the master type that defines the type of processing. The master type appears as the first character of the master code. The valid types are: C (drawer), D (dividend), G (general ledger), and M (member). The subtype code appears as the second character of the master code. For example, the master code for fees and other income is GI. The master type is G, and the subtype is I. The valid subtypes are: For type M: S - Share (non-IRA) I - Share (IRA) L - Loan D - Credit Card C - Certificate (non-IRA) R - Certificate (IRA) O - Other For type G: D - Cleared checks I - Fees and other income E - Expenses K - Checks disbursed O - Other For type C: B - US savings bonds C - Cash, currency, and coins K - Checks for deposit O - Other For type D: V - Dividend The third and fourth characters of the master code are unique identifiers. For example, the master code GKCU indicates general ledger (G) type, checks disbursed (K) subtype, credit union checks (CU). The unique identifier is CU. A master type with an unique identifier indicates the master has a one-to-one relationship with a product code. You must use the master code GKCU when setting up your credit union checks product code. The system will not allow another product to be cross-referenced to GKCU. Not all master codes have the unique identifier. For example, MS indicates member (M) type and shares (S) subtype. You can have unlimited product codes that cross-reference a two-character master code.
Check Type	The check type associated with the master form.
Form Number	The credit union-defined form number that corresponds with the master code. The master code ID must appear on the Form Information window. The form number is a credit union-defined number. This field is required when adding a form.
Revision Number	The revision number that corresponds to the master form ID. If you want to track a master form ID, Forms Management requires revision numbers. For example, there may be two different styles of checks used by the credit union due to updates when the forms were ordered from the check vendor. You would use revision numbers to track the activity for each of the two styles. The revision numbers appear left to right on the Form Numbers tab with the oldest number appearing first. You use the Form Information window to specify and maintain the revision numbers for the master form IDs. The system allows a maximum of three revision numbers for each master form ID. Once you have disbursed all forms within a specific revision number, Fiserv recommends that you delete that revision number.
