Column Heading Description

Form Number

The credit union-defined form number from the Form Information window.

Revision Number

The revision number that corresponds to the form. 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 system allows a maximum of three revision numbers for each master form ID. Once you have disbursed all forms within a specific revision number, Portico recommends that you delete that revision number.

Forms Description

The short description of the form from the Form Information window.

Beginning Serial Number

The beginning serial number of the available forms. If the form type is for traveler's checks, the beginning serial number indicates the first serial number within the package based on the increment specified on the Form Information window.

The system will not allow a beginning serial number of zero.

Note: For American Express master product codes GOTC, GOT2 and GOGC, the serial number must be alpha characters.

Ending Serial Number

The ending serial number of the available forms. If the form type is for traveler's checks, the ending serial number indicates the first serial number within the last package based on the increment specified on the Form Information window.

Note: For American Express master product codes GOTC, GOT2 and GOGC, the serial number must be alpha characters.

Quantity In Range

The number of forms in the serial number range. The quantity represents the difference between the beginning and ending serial numbers.

For traveler's checks, this number represents the number of packets from the beginning serial number range (based on the Increment field on the Form Information window) to the ending serial number (which is the first serial number of the last package based on the Increment field on the Form Information window).
