Cross Check
If you are using Cross Check, a check is automatically scanned when you enter the Enter Remittance page. If that check is not associated with a church, the Person Search window displays. If the check is associated with one church, their information populates the update page. If there is more than one church associated with a check the Person Search window displays with all associated names. Double-click the appropriate name or click the name and then Select.
Once a check has been scanned it displays to the right of the Cross Check field. Hover over the check to see the image of the back of the check as well. After you click Update on the payment the check is saved as two .png image files attached to that payment record (one for the front of the check and one for the back).
You can set up Cross Check in Modify Preferences (More Information). If you want to remove a check association from a customer you can do this from the customer record on the ACH Accounts tab (More Information).
Note: The Scanner.Client executable must be running to use Cross Check to scan checks. |
The first item to be imported displays. This page is identical to the Payment Processing - Update page (More Information) with the addition of a note informing you how many more items are left in the import. For each imported payment, Remittance displays the person associated with the NameID from the Shelby Teller file. If there is no person associated with that Name ID, the system looks up the DFID and DFIAcct on the ACH records in the program. If the check information is not associated with a record, the Person Search window allows you to manually select the individual to which the payment belongs. Once a name is selected, it is automatically associated with that check information in the future.
For each imported payment you apply the amount to Invoices, Miscellaneous Cash, or Unapplied Cash, as appropriate. When ready, click the Apply button to move on to the next payment in the import. Click the Cancel link to return to the Remittance page.
If there is already a Shelby Teller import in progress, click the Resume Shelby Teller Import button to resume the import process or the Clear Shelby Teller Import link to cancel the current import completely.

Payments already applied are not removed from Remittance if you choose to Clear Shelby Teller Import. Remove these items from Remittance before importing the same file again. Otherwise you will have duplicates. |
Your payments appear in the grid after finishing the import. Each payment imported from Shelby Teller has the following Note: 'From Shelby Teller Import.'
