Overview

Navigation within Reporter happens through the Menu Bar at the top of each Reporter page. The main menu appears on every page. A secondary menu, just below the main menu, changes according to which main menu option is selected.

When you open Reporter, you land on the Welcome page. This page lists the number of Remittance Reports received by Auditor in recent months. There is no secondary menu on this page.

Remittances

When you select Remittances on the main menu, you see a secondary menu with Remittances (number), Trial Deposit (number), and Deposits.

Remittances

The Remittances tab lists all remittance reports that have been received but not yet deposited. The number in parentheses tells how many remittances are in this list.

Column 1: Check boxes allow the user to choose which remittances to include in the current Trial Deposit. Once you've checked the remittances you'd like to include, click Make Trial Deposit at the bottom of the page.

Column 2: Lists the remittance check number, for easy matching. Numbers with a minus sign (-) in front are ACH.

Column 3: Click the blue arrow to view, edit, or set up the ACH information for that church.

Column 4: The Church Name list is color-coded. Red means that one or more Jewel Accounts from that church must be mapped to their corresponding Conference Accounts, but blue means all is well.

Column 5: The Date is the month the remittance is for.

Column 6: Gives the Amount of the remittance.

Column 7: Is the date and time the remittance report was received by the server.

Trial Deposit

The Trial Deposit page includes most of the same information about each deposit as the Remittances page did. If a remittance was selected that should not be included in this deposit, it can be removed by clicking in the last column.

We also see the total amount of the deposit, and two options for making a Deposit. Create New Deposit has editable fields for the date and a description of the deposit. Or we can add more remittances to the Last Deposit we created in Reporter.

Deposits

This page lists deposits compiled in Reporter. The default is to show only the last 3 months, but All Deposits can also be selected. The Date, Description, and Amount of each deposit are listed (remember Date and Description were set on the Trial Deposit page).

Each deposit can be Exported to AASI, or Printed. Recent deposits can be reverted to Trial Deposit if changes need to be made. You can also click on the deposit's Description to view the deposit, edit ACH information, and complete mapping.

Reports

When you select Reports from the main menu, the secondary menu includes Remittance Tools and Remittances YTD (year to date).

Lists

The secondary menu here contains the different lists that Reporter allows you to view and edit. This is a good place to come to edit the items in the lists, as well.

Jewel Accounts

This list includes both Global mappings and Specific mappings of Jewel Account IDs to AASI Account IDs. Global mappings apply to all churches in the Conference, and are a big time saver, which is a good reason for conferences to encourage assignment of AASI's ID numbers for Conference funds in their local church's Jewel programs. Jewel facilitates this process by allowing Conferences to provide a list of IDs and descriptions for churches to choose from when adding Conference funds to Jewel. Exceptions to Global mappings are easily entered as Specific mappings.

Specific mappings are necessary when churches make up their own IDs for conference funds, or have continued using old IDs. Reporter handles both exceptions to Global mappings and Specific mappings for little-used funds. Each specific mapping in the list tells which church the mapping corresponds to.

From the Jewel Accounts list, users can Edit or Delete global mappings, or Remove specific mappings (including those that are exceptions to Global mappings). New mappings can also be added via the Add New Account button at the bottom of the page.

Conference Accounts

This list gives the Account IDs / Offering Codes that get exported to AASI. There are options to see Union or Conference Accounts, or Division or GC accounts. Each account can be edited (both code and name), and toggled active/inactive. There's also an option to toggle whether to show inactive codes or not.
