Flexible Fees: For credit unions using Flexible Fees, the flags and counters are updated automatically by the system. The fee flag and counter definitions are specified when the fee program is initially setup. To determine the definition of each field, you may refer to the User Program (fee ID 0001 - 0500) found on the Flexible Fees Rules Report 582. You can also customize the labels using the Customized Field – Update window. User flags are credit union-defined member fields that contain values of either Y or N. The credit union determines the criteria that the member must meet in order for the user flag to be Y, as well as when the flag will be reset to N. User flags are usually reset at the beginning of the new fee period. User counters are credit union-defined member fields that contain numeric values, up to 9 digits. The credit union determines the criteria that a member must meet in order for a numeric value to be added to the counter. User counters are usually reset at the beginning of the new fee period.

Note: Be careful when manually maintaining these fields because the fee program continues to update these fields until the fee program is changed.
