Files Required for Processing Work on the Transport

There are several files that are required for successful processing on the transport. All of the files are stored in the C:\Track directory except the Trkcntl.ini file, which is stored in the Remitrac\Sitnnnnn directory on the Database Server, where “nnnnn” represents your Site Number. Table 3 summarizes the required files.

Table 3. Files Required for Processing on the Tran sport

File Description

Track.ini Defines variables used when processing work on the transport such as default System Type, Site ID, number of pockets, reject pocket, and purge pocket. Also includes the variables to control if limit messages are displayed during processing, whether items that are detected as foreign are stopped on the transport during processing, the endorsement position for reject codes, and whether or not to endorse the lockbox number on items during the Capture pass. For additional information, see the “Track Configuration File” section of the INI Configuration File document of the RemitTrac Setup Manual.

RTtable.ini Contains a listing of the Routing and Transit numbers that are encoded on the items for each lockbox. This table is used to identify certain MICR documents as scandocs or remittances instead of as checks.

Wholesale Documents and the Capture Pass

During the Capture pass, the following information is endorsed on the processed items in a wholesale batch:

1. The checks and scandocs within each batch are endorsed on the back with a consecutive item sequence number beginning with 001. Each item is also endorsed with the batch number and the transport processing date. The sequence number is used to aid the operator in identifying items during jam recovery and during the encode pass.

2. The Batch Trailer and Deposit Ticket are endorsed with the batch number and the transport processing date.

Retail Documents and the Capture Pass During the Capture pass in a retail batch, the checks and remittances within each batch are endorsed on the back with the batch number, an item sequence number, and the transport processing date. The sequence number aids the operator to identify items during jam recovery and during the encode pass.

Page 12: NCR 7780 and iTran v8 - ImageScan€¦ · NCR 7780 / iTran Transport Guide 1 NCR 7780 and iTran Transport Guide The NCR 7780 and iTran transports are used to capture, encode and endorse

8 RemitTrac

Wholesale Documents and the Encode Pass Once a batch is reconciled and is on the Pending Encode list, you can encode the batch. The items should remain in the same order as they were at the time the batch was captured. If the items are not in this order at time of encoding, you can still encode the batch; however, any item flagged as out of sequence will be stopped for review as the batch is processed through the transport.

During the encode pass in Wholesale Lockbox Processing, the following occurs:

1. The amount field on each check in the batch is encoded with the reconciled amount for the check and the check is endorsed on the back with the full endorsement as defined in the lockbox setup.

2. The account number field on the front of the Batch Trailer is encoded with the batch number. In addition, the amount field is encoded with the encoded amount of the batch (the sum of the encoded amounts of all checks in the batch).

NOTE: You can place a custom account number in the Account Number field on the Batch Trailer using the CustomControlNum variable in the Track.ini file. You can also leave the CustomControlNum variable blank and the account number field on the Batch Trailer will remain blank. The Track.ini is stored in the C:\Track directory on the transport workstation.

3. The Aux field on the front of the Deposit Ticket is encoded with the lockbox number. In addition, the amount field is encoded with the encoded amount of the batch (the sum of the encoded amounts of all checks in the batch).

If there is an R/T number set up for the lockbox, the R/T field on the Deposit Ticket is encoded with the lockbox R/T number. If there is no R/T defined at the lockbox level, the Bank R/T is used. If there is a DDA number set up for the lockbox, the account number field on the Deposit Ticket is encoded with the customer account (DDA) number. If there is a Tran Code set up for the lockbox, the transaction code field on the Deposit Ticket is encoded with the lockbox transaction code. If there is no Tran Code defined at the lockbox level, the Bank Tran Code is used.

If there is an endorsement set up for the Deposit Ticket, the endorsement is placed on the back of the Deposit Ticket.

NOTE: A custom encode line can be defined for the Deposit Ticket. Custom values are entered in the Encode Line field on the Lockbox Revised, Deposits tab. For additional information on defining a custom encode line for a deposit ticket, see the Lockbox Setup-Deposits document in the RemitTrac Setup Manual.

NCR 7780 / iTran Transport Guide 9

Retail Documents and the Encode Pass Once a batch within a tray of work is reconciled and the tray is on the Pending Encode list, you can begin to encode the tray of work. The items within each batch should remain in the same order as they were at the time the work was captured. If the items in the batch are not in this order at time of encoding, you can still encode the work; however, any item flagged as out of sequence will be stopped for review as the work is processed through the transport.

During the encode pass in Retail Lockbox Processing, the following occurs:

1. The amount field on each check is encoded with the reconciled amount for the check and the check is endorsed on the back with the full endorsement setup for the payment ticket in the lockbox’s Deposit Outline.

2. The remittance documents are endorsed on the back with the endorsement setup for the remittance ticket in the lockbox’s Deposit Outline.

Customizing Capture and Encode Pass Endorsements

You can customize certain information that gets endorsed on items during both the Capture and Encode pass.

Endorsing the Lockbox Number during the Capture Pas s

The “EndorseLockBoxNum” variable in the Track Configuration File (Track.ini) allows you to endorse the Lockbox Number on the first line of the Capture Pass Audit Trail. The Lockbox Number is endorsed one space after the Batch Number. For information on the changes that must be made to the Track Configuration File (Track.ini), see the RemitTrac Setup Manual.

Customizing the Encode Pass Endorsement

A System Reject code, such as an item rejected by a Stop/Positive File (Retail) or Balance Forces Limits (Retail or Wholesale) can also be endorsed on an item during Encode Pass processing. To endorse the reject code, the variables “RejectEndorseLine” and “RejectEndorsePos” must be included in the Track Configuration File (Track.ini). By default, the system reject endorsement will appear on Line 2, Position 28, which prints one space after the date of the Capture Audit Trail Endorsement.

Processing Scandocs and Remittances with MICR Lines

In order to process MICR encoded Scandocs or Remittances, a Routing and Transit Number Table File (RTTable.ini) must be set up. The RTTable.ini file is stored in the C:\Track directory on the Transport workstation. The RTTable.ini file contains a listing of the Routing and Transit numbers by lockbox that are encoded on the items that should

Page 14: NCR 7780 and iTran v8 - ImageScan€¦ · NCR 7780 / iTran Transport Guide 1 NCR 7780 and iTran Transport Guide The NCR 7780 and iTran transports are used to capture, encode and endorse

10 RemitTrac

be processed as a scandoc or remittance instead of as a check. If an RT is not defined in the file, the scandocs or remittances with MICR will be processed as checks.

Processing Registered Copyprint Batches

The purpose of running Registered Copyprint work on the transport is to obtain image copies. There are no check amounts or deposit totals reported for Registered Copyprint work.

Before processing Registered Copyprint work on the transport, you must first register the batches to a Copyprint lockbox. Registered Copyprint batches require a batch header ticket, checks, batch trailer, and a deposit ticket. In order to process Registered Copyprint work, the transport must be operating in Wholesale mode, and must be processed through the transport like a Wholesale batch.

Understanding the Required Documents

Before processing work through the transport, you must ensure that the required documents are placed in the proper order. The type of work you are processing will determine what documents are required. Table 4 summarizes the required documents and the order of documents for processing different types of work.

Table 4. Required Documents for Processing Work

Processing Work through the Transport

There are two basic methods of processing work through the transport: (1) auto feed and (2) manual feed. If you choose to auto feed work, the items placed in the hopper are automatically fed through the transport. If you choose to manually feed work, you will be required to place each item, one at a time, into the hand-drop station on the transport.

Autofeeding Items

IMPORTANT : When processing Retail work, you must manually feed the Tray Ticket and the first Batch Header Ticket in the tray. Once the Tray Ticket and the first Batch Header Ticket are processed manually, you can auto feed the remaining items in the transport hopper. For instructions on manually processing work, see “Manually Feeding Items” beginning on page 23.

Also, you will have to manually feed the Tray Ticket and first Batch Header Ticket for subsequent trays of work that are registered to a different Retail form. When a tray is registered to a different Retail form than the previous tray processed, a Loading Lockbox Info message is displayed on the screen.

Figure 19. Loading Lockbox Info message - new OCR p roperty page

• Choose OK to clear the message. The Tray Ticket is placed in an assigned pocket.

If you are processing items in Auto Feed mode, all other items on the track are placed in the reject pocket. You will have to process the items placed in the reject pocket in Manual Feed mode.

���� To auto feed work through the transport

1. Stack the trays or batches in the order that you need to process them and place them in the transport’s hopper.

NOTE: You can add batches to the hopper while other batches are processed through the transport, as long as you maintain pressure on checks fed through the transport. This ensures that the flow of checks continues to process through the transport.

Exceptions Processing

Pre-encoded checks and Foreign checks can require special processing.

Processing a Pre-Encoded Check

Pre-encoded checks can be processed through the transport along with the other checks in the batch. If the system determines that the correct amount is already encoded on check, the check will not stop during processing through the transport. The encoder turns off for that particular item, and the item is pocketed with other items in the batch.

If the system determines that an incorrect amount is encoded on the check, or detects unreadable characters, the check stops for repair during the encode process. An Encoded Check window similar to the one in Figure 46 on page 37 is displayed on the screen.

Selecting an Encode File

Once an encode file is created using the DDA Encode Report Program (ddaencd.exe), you can select the file to use for processing multiple deposit tickets. As a default, encode files created using the DDA Encode Report Program are stored in the \RemiTrac\PDD\RmtdYYJUL\transmit directory. The RmtdYYJUL directory is the daily directory, where the YY stands for the last two digits of the calendar year and the JUL for the julian date. For example, Rmtd1048 is the daily directory for February 17, 2010. The encode file name is n.enc, where the “n” represents the group for which the program was run.

NOTE: If the encode file is not stored in the default path, refer to the Output Path variable in the ddaencd.ini (the .ini file is usually named using the group name) file for the location of the encode output file. The ddaencd.ini file is stored in the RemiTrac\Sitnnnnn\Report directory.

���� To select an encode file

1. From the Drives List box, double-click on the drive specified by the file path. (In this example, you would double-click the drive letter [-y-] .)

The directories for the selected drive are displayed in the Directories List box.

2. Double-click the appropriate path, one level at a time, until you reach the directory where the encode file is stored. (In this example, you would select the Remitrac directory, and then the PDD directory.)

Trailing Edge and Leading Edge Endorser Setting

When processing work on the transport, the first batch that triggers the TCS file for trailing endorsement during the Encode pass will cause the Batch Header to stop on the track. When this occurs, the message shown in Figure 88 is displayed on the screen.

NOTE: Leading and Trailing edge endorser settings are defined in the deposit outline for the lockbox.

���� To clear window and continue processing

• Choose OK to clear the message.

If in Manual Feed mode, the endorser is set to trailing edge and the items continue to process. If in Auto Feed mode, the endorser is set to trailing edge and the Batch Header is pocketed. The other items in the track are flushed to the reject pocket and must be dropped manually or placed back into the auto feeder for processing.

NOTE: To avoid having items flushed to the reject pocket, manually drop the first Batch Header to trigger a change in the TCS file for endorsement position. If Retail lockboxes are using the Trailing Edge Endorsement option for payments, the remittances will also use the Trailing Edge Endorsement option.

NOTE: After you encode batches using the trailing edge endorsement, the first batch for Capture will trigger the TCS file for leading endorsement, and will cause the Batch Header to stop on the track. The messages to tell you that you are now encoding using the leading edge endorsement are similar to those used in Figure 88 and Figure 89.

Understanding Lockbox Batch Limit Messaging

While processing batches on the transport, the system keeps track of the following batch limits:

• number of items in a batch

• number of payments in a batch

• number of scandocs/remittances in a batch

When an exceeded limit message is displayed, you can continue to process items in the batch; however, the exceeded message will display for each item processed. You will need to manually end the batch.

Nearing, Reaching, and Exceeding the Batch Payment limit

The following messages display on the screen when the Batch Payment limit is nearing, reached, and exceeded. Similar messages display on the transport during processing when Scandoc and Remittance limits are nearing, reach, and exceeded.

The message shown in Figure 93 is displayed on the screen when the number of payment items in the batch is nearing the Batch Payment limit defined for the lockbox.

Figure 93. Batch Payment limit nearing message

The message shown in Figure 94 is displayed on the screen when the number of payment items in the batch has reached the Batch Payment limit defined for the lockbox.

NCR 7780 / iTran Transport Guide 77

Figure 98. Batch Item limit exceeded message

NOTE: The “NoLimitWarning” variable in the Track.ini file controls whether or not the limit messages are displayed during transport processing. When the value is set to “Off,” the nearing, reached, and exceeded limit messages will display during processing. If the value for the variable is set to “On,” only the reached and exceeded limit messages display. For additional information on the “NoLimitWarning” variable, see the Track Configuration File section in the INI Configuration Files document of the RemitTrac Setup Manual.

Understanding System Limit Messaging In Wholesale processing, the system limit for the total number of items processed in a batch is 5000 items. The system limit for the number of payment items allowed in a batch is 999. When the system item limit of 5000 is reached, the batch is automatically closed. If the system limit of 999 payments is reached before the 5000th item in the batch is processed, the batch is automatically closed.

In Retail processing, the system limit for the number of payment and remittance items combined in a batch is 999. When the system limit of 999 payments and remittances is reached, the batch is automatically closed. Once the batch is closed, you must manually close the tray.

Nearing and Exceeding the System Batch Payment Item limits

The following messages are presented to the operator during processing when the System Batch Payment Item limit of 999 is nearing, reached, and exceeded.

The message shown in Figure 99 is displayed when the system can only process 10 more payment items before reaching the System Batch Payment Item limit.

NOTE: In both Wholesale and Retail processing, if you continue processing items after the System Item limit message is cleared, the track will pause and display a subsequent message when the system is 5 items from the System Item limit. Thereafter, a message is displayed for each remaining item in the batch that is processed.

Once the 999th payment is processed, the message shown in Figure 100 is displayed on the screen. This message informs you that the batch will automatically be closed and that all items on the track will be flushed to the reject pocket.
