Jewel Reporter

Jewel Reporter

Introduction: Reporter is a 'Jewel Church Accounting System' product designed to import and organize remittance reports from all churches (whether they use Jewel or not), then export the information to AASI, eliminating most manual entry. As part of that process, Reporter fulfills the following tasks:

1. Receives electronic Remittance Reports from churches using Jewel. Allows manual entry of reports when needed.

2. Maps Jewel Accounts to the Conference Accounts that are used in AASI.

3. Creates a Deposit of Church Remittances and uploads it to be imported into AASI.

4. Manages and creates ACH files from the Remittance Reports, then creates the file that can be sent to the Conference bank for collecting the Remittance monies electronically from the churches.

5. Provides various reports - Remittance and financial.

6. Manages work tasks and passwords for Reporter and Auditor.

Purpose of Reporter: "How does Reporter save time and money?"

1. Permanently SAVES mappings of each church's Jewel Accounts to Conference Accounts, eliminating the laborious and error-prone process of mapping every account from every church every month.

2. IMPORTS remittance reports automatically submitted by each church through Jewel. Never TYPE Remittance Reports again.

3. EXPORTS deposit slips for paper-check remittances and ACH files for electronic remittances. Never process a Remittance check again. Never manually type a spreadsheet of ACH info.

4. Conference Treasurer has instant access to information that affects the Conference financials.

5. Conference Treasurer has control over the information and tasks that staff have access to.
