New Fee Manager Now Available

After several months of testing, Cutek is proud to announce the following enhancements to our Fee Management Console product:

  • You can now use Fee Manager to post over-the-counter fees (this is in addition to the ability to reverse fees)
  • It’s now much easier to add or modify custom fees
  • There are new options to reverse fees partially
  • There is new support for read-only users (users that can view fees, but can’t reverse fees)
  • The Fee Summary screen now breaks down “Miscellaneous” fees into separate totals for each custom fee you define
  • The standard batch Fee reports can now generate CSV files
  • The View Fees screen now shows the reason provided for any fees reversed previously
  • We now set the Expiration Date on the Note records created by Fee Manager so that you can purge them when they are no longer needed

*If we’ve installed Fee Manager at your credit union within the last few months, you may already have some or all of the new features above.

Here is a demo that shows off many of the new features:

The new Fee Manager files are a free download for all clients with a current Fee Manager license. If you’re not already a Fee Manager client, please contact us at sales@cutek.net for pricing.

Correio March Database shipped last week

Just a quick note to let all Correio clients know that we shipped the March database DVDs last week, so you should have them at your credit union this week. If you don’t receive them by the end of the week, please call us at (951) 696-9715 and we’ll get a replacement out to you.

Fee Manager Enhancements are Coming

As part of our planned enhancement cycle for our Fee Management Console product, all clients with a current software license will be able to download new versions of the software that contain the following key enhancements:

The new Post a Fee screen

You’ve been able to reverse fees simply and easily with Fee Manager, but now you’ll be able to configure the software to post over-the-counter fees, as well. The interface for this is as simple as can be. Simply choose which share you want to post a fee to and then choose the fee from a list of fees that you predefine. The fee descriptions, amounts and GL codes are predefined by you, so the employee posting the fee doesn’t have to figure anything out on their own.

You will be able to customize your software to support partial fee refunds, so your users will be able to refund the total fee amount or some percentage of the original fee (you’ll predefine the allowed percentages).

The standard fee reports will now include options to produce CSV files.

We plan to have these enhancements ready for all Fee Management Console clients during the second quarter of 2010. So, stay tuned for more details!

Correio AVS 2.1.4

We sent an email last week to all clients to announce the availability of a new version of Correio AVS. If you are a Correio AVS client and you did not receive the email (or if you are still running a version of Correio prior to 2.1.4), please call us at (951) 696-9715, extension 0, and ask for Correio support.

How to know if Correio has been installed correctly

As posted previously, we recently provided a new version of Correio to all Correio clients. They say a picture says a thousand words, so here is what Correio should say to you after you install the new version.

CorreioShell212July

If any of the highlighted areas above do not match what you are seeing on your Correio PC, please call us immediately at (951) 696-9715, Extension 0.

New Correio Available for Download

The new version of Correio is available for download at http://files.me.com/cutek/nvf0xq. The password is in the letter shipped with the USPS database DVD or CDs. If you have any questions or problems, please contact us at (951) 696-9715, extension 0.

New Corrieo Build is Coming

The USPS has notified Cutek that the current cycle L API used by Correio version 2.09 will expire on July 31, 2009. If you are a Correio client, this means that your copy of Correio will cease to function and must be upgraded by the end of this month. Fortunately, the upgrade process should be fairly quick and painless.

We have been testing a new build of Correio that uses the new Cycle M API and we expect to finish testing and deliver the new build for all Correio clients by early next week. We  have received new Cycle M AMS database disks from the USPS and we are shipping these to all Correio clients.

The new Cycle M AMS database disks will not work with Correio version 2.09 and you should not try to update Correio 2.09 with these new disks. Instead, you should wait until you receive both the new download link for the new version of Correio as well as a new Cycle M DVD. If you are a Correio client, you will receive upgrade instructions next week in the mail along with the new database disk(s).

Please note that you will not need to change any specfiles on your Symitar host to use the new version of Correio; your existing specfiles will work with the new Correio build the same as they have in the past. However, we will be providing enhanced specfiles, with an expected delivery in August, to take advantage of several new features in the Cycle M builds. We will provide further details on these enhancements when the specfiles are available for download, but here is a short list of some of the more important enhancements we have planned:

  • Abbreviated Address support
  • Abbreviated City Support
  • Blind-post without the need to grant additional privileges to your users
  • New ADDRESSCHANGE form with additional fields

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thanks,

Ray Pennisi – Correio Product Manager

SMUG Meeting Next Week

Dawn and I will be at the SMUG meeting next week in Detroit. I’ll be demoing our Fee Management Console as well as teaching the Interactive HTML (post-back) class on Thursday and Friday. I am looking forward to seeing old friends, making new friends and enjoying the bone chilling weather of Detroit in mid-February. (OK, maybe not so much on that last one.)

Hope to see you there!

Happy Turkey Day!

Cutek will be closed both Thursday and Friday this week for Thanksgiving. We wish everyone a happy holiday!
