Loans > Loan Screens > Check Printing Screen Group > Reserve Checks Screen

The Check Actions field group on the Reserve Checks screen contain several buttons used for various functions, as described in the table below.

The Starting Check Number field is used to enter the number of the first check to be printed. It can be up to 10 digits long. The system will automatically increase the number by one for each additional check being printed.

Additional Reserve Disbursement Reports

These three reports are only used with reserve disbursements. Reserve disbursements processed during the afterhours will generally have more than one loan included on a check. The remittance advice form must be printed and sent with each check. The Co/Agent report and the Print by Account report do not need to be printed unless you want them.

•The Print by Co/Agent report prints a list of the checks sorted by payee number.

•The Print by Account report prints a list of all loans that are included on a check.

The buttons in this field group are as follows:

Click this button to display check data according to the parameters you set in the fields to the left (Format and Status). Each time you select a new format or status, you will need to retrieve the data.

Click this button to begin the printing process for checks highlighted in the list view. You must enter the starting check number before you can print the check.

Occasionally, you may need to reprint checks due to paper jams, etc. To do this, select in the list view the checks that need to be reprinted, enter a new Starting Check Number (see above), then click this button. You can reprint checks as many times as you need, but after they have been reconciled (see below) they cannot be reprinted.

When you are finished printing checks, you must reconcile them. When you reconcile checks, you are telling the system that you are done and that the check will not need to be reprinted. Reconciling a check sends the check number and amount to the payee history and the Check Reconciliation program in GOLD Services. When you reconcile checks, you should also print a check register report that would generally be forwarded to your accounting department. A check cannot be deleted until it has been reconciled. When you click the <Reconcile> button, a verification dialog appears requesting that you confirm that you want to reconcile the checks.

	Note: If your institution uses a third-party check reconciliation system, the check number and other information will be passed to the third-party program.

For the GOLDPoint Systems Check Reconciliation program, see the Check Reconciliation help.

After checks are reconciled, you should print a check register report. This report shows the check number, account number, amount format, and the name of the first payee. This report is generally forwarded to your accounting department.

Checks can be deleted after they have been reconciled. Select some or all checks, then click the <Delete Checks> button. Deleting checks removes them from the Check Printing system so they will not be displayed on the screen or appear on any reports. When you click <Delete Checks>, a verification dialog appears requesting that you confirm you want to delete the checks.

This prints the remittance form that would be sent with the check. It displays the borrower name, loan number, policy number, and the amount being paid. For example, if last night 10 loans had disbursements for insurance premiums to State Farm Insurance, all information for the 10 loans will appear on the remittance advice but only one check would be created. You would send both to the insurance company.

This prints a list of the checks that have been selected in the list view. It is sorted first by the payee number and then by the loan number for each loan that is on the check.

This prints a list of each loan that is included on the checks that have been selected in the list view. it is sorted by loan number. It displays the loan number, name of the payee, the payee number (company or agent), the name of the payee, and the policy number. You may want to print this report when you are printing reserve excess checks.
