The Impound Funding dialog contains all available transactions specific to the Impound checkbook you selected prior to opening the Impound Funding dialog, whether created manually or from checks for the current client. Payroll transactions are summed together in the Funding grid. Click the Details button to view individual transactions. Vendor transactions are listed individually in the Funding grid.
From the CSA main window, choose Utilities > Impound Funding. Select the appropriate Impound Checkbook in the Impound Checkbook Selection dialog, and then click OK.
Fields & buttons
From the drop-down list, select the checkbook to be used for the balancing entry for fund transactions. All checkbooks not set up as an impound checkbook are listed.
When this checkbox is marked, the program automatically creates EPS files for fund transactions created:
- through check printing
- via the Fund unprinted checks options in the payroll and vendor check entry dialogs
- during vendor check consolidation (if at least one of the checks is already funded)
This checkbox does not affect manual transactions, or voided, deleted, or modified checks. For these you still need to return to the Impound Funding dialog, select the transactions by marking their checkboxes, and click the Create EPS File button.
Notes
- When this checkbox is marked, all funding files are included in the EPS file, and there is no option available to fund transactions without including them in the EPS.
- This option is client-specific and not limited to the Impound checkbook you selected prior to opening the Impound Funding dialog.
- The status on the Direct Deposit tab for the client Withholding Checkbook or Impound Checkbook must be set to Approved for the EPS file to be automatically created. If the status is not set to Approved, the funding file is created but the EPS file is not automatically created. You will need to update the checkbook status to Approved and then return to the Impound Funding dialog, select the transactions by marking their checkboxes, and then click the Create EPS File button.
