WIMS 2.0 April 2014 1

Accounting The following Accounting changes have been made to WIMS:

Complete Functionality of the Loss Request ICR The name of the form changed from Loss Request ICR to Loss\Recovery Request ICR.

New fields: • Escrow Closing Date • Request Date • Escrow Officer

Processing for the Loss\Recovery has been update so that a loss will be funded from either a Suspense Account or a related Operating Loss account.

Process will be updated so that a recovery transaction can be entered.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 2

Add Bank Account Code column to Search Unclaimed Results A Banking Account Code column has been added to the Search Unclaimed Results page. The Back Account Code is associated with the IW on the Search Unclaimed Results page.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 3

Negative Amounts not allowed on Transfer File Funds ICR shared form When a user is entering a new loss and tries to enter a negative amount, a message instructs the user to enter a Loss Recovery.

If a negative amount is entered on a transfer file funds ICR, the message instructs the user to enter the amount using the Loss\Recovery Request ICR.

For all others, the message states that negative amounts are not allowed.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 4

Update CEA ICR Inquiry Search to include Released Status CEA users have the ability to narrow the search for Internal Control Requests by the Status.

However, in the past they were unable to search by the status of ‘Released’. They had to search using all Statuses then sort the results to look for just the transactions with Released status.

With this release, CEA users will now have the ability to search and find transactions that are in the Released status separate from the entire listing.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 5

Code Changes for CEA Wires In\Tag Unclaimed Code changes were made to recognize that an incoming Wire will be credited to a file that does not have the same bank. Selecting Transfer Funds to File will display the following pop-up message:

After selecting the account code, the application will create a transfer file funds ICR transaction to move the funds from the incoming Wire into the entered File Number.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 6

Administrative The following Administrative changes have been made to WIMS:

Business Loss Request Email WIMS sends an email to the recipient identified on the System Defaults page next to Lawson AP Email Address when one of the following criteria is met:

1. The user has the box selected for “Receive Loss\Recovery Notification for amount over” 2. The amount of the loss is over the amount entered in the text box below the Receive Notification check box

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 7

Add a Field to enter Suspense File During the Loss Request ICR processing, the dollar amount of the loss dictates whether the loss will be funded from the Suspense file of the Operating Loss Account.

The Max ICR Loss amount is used to determine if the Suspense file or the Operating Account will be used.

Admin users will now have the ability to add a suspense account at the Branch level for processing the Loss Request ICR.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 8

Add Lawson Cash code field to Operating bank account type profile The Loss Report captures information entered into WIMS for the Loss Request ICR. Previously, the application did not contain a place for the Lawson Cash codes to allow Lawson to determine which bank and account a Loss Request ICR should be associated.

A field has been added to the Bank Account profile page for the Operating bank account type only. This field has been added to the Bank Account profile page for the Operating bank account type, allowing Lawson to determine which bank and account a Loss Request ICR should be associated.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 9

Add Flag showing if a bank sends ACH Credit Data in the BAI File Transfer File Funds ICRs could result in the creation of ACH credit transactions.

A flag has now been added so that Admin users can identify the banks that send the BAI data but the ACH information is not included in the file.

If a bank sends a BAI file, this flag will show that ACH information will also be included for the auto-tagging process.

WIMS 2.0 April 2014 10

Defects The following defects were addressed in this release:

• The Show Inactive Escrow units checkbox in Administration module was not showing inactive escrow units. This issue has been fixed.

• The To Account Code field on a Transfer File Fund ICR was auto-populating with the incorrect data from the From File number instead of being left blank. This issue has been resolved.

• In the Transfer File Funds ICR approval process, Anticipated Incoming Wire was being created with the incorrect unit list on the transaction. This issue has been fixed.

• Users have the ability to enter a Transfer File Funds ICR from one bank to another by creating a pending Outgoing Wire in AIM+ that is matched during the Autotaging process. The Autotagging process was incorrectly matching the Outgoing Wire transaction and posting to the AIM+ File ledger as a credit instead of a debit. This issue has been corrected.

• When users use Copy and Paste for file numbers when tagging incoming wires, sometimes leading spaces were being copied and pasted, causing the wire to not post to AIM+ correctly. All leading spaces have been trimmed from the File Number field when the user selects to tag a wire.
