Reversing a Fee

To associate a loan fee that is being reversed from a general ledger with a loan note number and report it as such on statements for open-end loans, select the loan from the Fee Note drop-down list (Keyword: FN). The Fee Stmt Msg field lets you enter the message that will print on the statement as the fee description (Length: 35 alphanumeric / Keyword: M1). If a fee statement message is not entered, the transaction will automatically use the “To” or “From” description of the product code (or general ledger description if a general ledger is used) as the statement message for the fee. Due to Reg Z, a fee, late charge, interest, principal paid or escrow amount paid that is reversed and was originally reported on a prior statement cannot be removed from the current statement-to-date totals. The Prior Statement Period Fee drop-down list indicates if any fee, late charge, interest, or loan payment escrow deposit amount entered on the transaction was originally reported on a prior month's statement (Keyword: PS). If N, the amount entered will be added to or subtracted from the appropriate statement-to-date total. If Y, the amount entered will not be added to or subtracted from the statement-to-date total. Year-to-date fees, year-to-date late charges and year-to-date interest will always be affected by the transaction amounts regardless of the value selected in this field. If multiple share deposits are listed in the Transaction Area grid, you cannot select an option from the Fee Note drop-down list, enter a message in the Stmt Msg field, nor select an option from the Prior Statement Period Fee drop-down list. This option can only be used when you process a single share deposit from a single general ledger.

The Share Deposit from General Ledger Transaction Area lets you deposit funds from a general ledger account to a share account. You can post multiple share deposits from multiple general ledger accounts with one adjustment transaction. Additional rows will appear in the Transaction Area grid as you complete a row to allow to you select additional general ledger accounts and share types. A maximum of 5 deposits can be posted at one time. Portico will process each line as an individual transaction and produce a receipt for each transaction processed. For example, if four GL accounts and four share types are listed, four receipts will be printed. By processing the lines individually, you can reverse each transaction individually.

The Label Appearance group box on the Teller Information window indicates if the product code name or general ledger account will appear on the transaction. If General Ledger is selected, tellers can enter GL numbers when processing the transaction.
