GOLD Services > GOLD Services Screens > General Ledger Screen Group

The External Postings screen is used for the assignment of General Ledger account numbers used when posting amounts that are associated with external events, such as rejected ACH items, rejected proof items, and federal inclearing items. External postings that have "proof" in the description are only available to those institutions using a Proof of Deposit system. Essentially, the External Postings screen allows your institution to build G/L offsets for external event postings.

Accessing the Screen

The General Ledger External Events screen is accessed in CIM GOLD under GOLD Services > General Ledger. The following is an example of this screen:

GOLD Services > General Ledger > External Postings Screen

For information on each of the fields on this screen, see External Postings Field Descriptions.

You can delete an external event for your institution by selecting it from the list view and then clicking <Delete>. When you delete an external event record, the event number is not actually deleted, only the G/L accounts associated with it. That event number will no longer appear in the list view because it is no longer set up for your institution. You can set up the external event again later, as described in the following fields.

To create a new external event record for your institution:

1.Click <Create New>.

2.Click the list icon in the External Event field. A list of available external events appears.

3.Select the external event you want to add from this list.

4.In the Debit Account field, enter the General Ledger account number that will be associated with this external event when a debit for this external event takes place.

5.In the Credit Account field, enter the General Ledger account number that will be associated with this external event when a credit for this external event takes place.

6.Click <Save Changes>. The external event will be displayed in the list view above.

	Note: If the General Ledger account numbers entered in the Credit Account or Debit Account fields are not valid or active, an error provider will be displayed next to those numbers.
