GOLD Services Screens > General Ledger Screen Group > Autopost Parameters Screen

To aid in determining the General Ledger account number and in reducing data entry, you can use parameter substitution in the General Ledger Account Number fields on the Autopost Parameters, Amortization Descriptions, GL Account By Loan Type, GTPC Funding Rules, and Setup G/L and Commissions screens. Parameter substitutions are not valid on the Cross Reference, External Postings, or Summarization Setup screens.

Parameter substitution involves substituting a two-letter code for a portion of the General Ledger account number, as shown below:

GL_parmsub

Parameter substitution codes must be input in the first two digits of the G/L account sub-field. When the system reads these codes during the Autopost afterhours processing, it automatically includes other data from the tran log to form the General Ledger account number. The following are valid parameter substitution codes and their respective locations in CIM GOLD:

Parameter Substitution	Name	Location in CIM GOLD (if applicable)
AC	General Ledger Account Number
BB	Safe Deposit Box Branch	Deposits > Safe Deposit Boxes > Master screen
BR*	Branch of Account
CL*	Loan Class	Loans > Account Information > Account Detail screen, Account tab
DP	Deposit G/L Posting field	Deposits > Account Information > Additional Fields screen, Miscellaneous Fields tab
DT	Deposit Type	Deposits > Account Information screen, Account Information tab
IG*	Investor Group	Loans > Investor Reporting > Loan Investor Fields
IM*	Investor Master	Loans > Investor Reporting > Loan Investor Fields
LP*	Loan Purpose	Loans > Account Information > Additional Loan Fields screen, Classification/Purpose tab
NP	Do not post this entry
OB*	Originating branch of the transaction
PB**	Original Proof Batch
PC**	Deposit Product Code	Deposits > Account Information > Account Information screen
PT***	Original Teller in Proof
TP*	Loan Type	Loans > Account Information > Account Detail screen, Account tab
TL*	Teller Number
UD*	Loan User-Defined field	Loans > Account Information > Account Detail screen, Origination tab

Only parameter substitution codes BR, CL, IG, IM, LP, OB, TP, TL, and UD can be used on the GTPC Funding Rules screen. All other parameter substitution codes are invalid on that screen and a hard error message will be returned if you try and use an invalid parameter substitution. Any of the listed parameter substitution codes can be used on the Autopost Parameters, Amortization Descriptions, GL Account By Loan Type, GTPC Funding Rules, and Setup G/L and Commissions screens.

PB, which stands for Proof Branch, represents the Original Proof Branch (Deposit and Other system Posting Field #38) and is currently valid for Teller Cash Debit and Credit proof ticket transactions only (tran code 1540/1550; Proof Codes 40/70) and is the original branch number where the ticket was prepared. The PB parameter substitution will get the Original Proof Branch from the Account Number field on the MICR line of the Teller Cash Debit/Credit tickets, which will be scanned and placed in the Account Number field of the proof transmission.

***

PT, which stands for Proof Teller, represents the Original Teller in Proof (Deposit and Other system Posting Field #28) and is normally used to post Teller Cash Debit and Credit proof ticket transactions (tran code 1540/1550; Proof Codes 40/70) to the appropriate cash General Ledger account. The PB parameter substitution will get the Original Teller in Proof from the teller number input into the scanning software on all deposit and other system proof tickets.

Example

The following example explains how to use parameter substitution if your General Ledger account number structure is as follows:

Title	ACCT	BRANCH	DEPT
Format	XXXX	XX	XX

If you always want to use the originating branch of the transaction when posting amounts to the General Ledger for a given amount field, indicate this by entering the parameter substitution in the first two digits of the G/L account sub-field that represents the branch number (sub-field 3) and setting up your General Ledger account number as follows:

Title	ACCT	BRANCH	DEPT
Format	1000	OB	999

When the system reads the entry "OB," it retrieves the number of the originating branch of the transaction from the tran log and substitutes it for “OB” in the account number.

WARNING: The "NP" code is the "no post" code and is substituted in place of the base G/L account number in sub-field 2. When the system reads this code, it does not post this transaction amount to the General Ledger. This is useful if you do not want assessed late charges posted to the General Ledger until they have been paid. However, if used indiscriminately, this code can cause out of balances in the General Ledger.

You can print a list of all G/L numbers with the No Post substitution by completing the following steps:

1.Access the Autopost Parameters screen.

2.Click the G/L Number heading twice in the list view, so that NP codes appear at the top of the list view, as shown below:

GLAP_NPsort

3.Once the list view is displayed with NP numbers at the top, right-click the list view and select "Print Preview."

GLAP_printpreview

All Autopost Parameters will be displayed in a report, with the NP numbers at the top, as shown below:

GLAP_NPreport

4.From here you can print out the report or study the report for all NP substitutions.
