PVI Reference Manual – Future Payments Inquiry

The Future Payments Inquiry provides flexible access to data about pending planned payments for the current TCS logon account.

There are 2 screens for this program, the main screen and the scheduled payments list screen.

Main Screen:

The main screen is used to define selection criteria and sorting/grouping/subtotal order for the scheduled payments list screen. It gives the user the flexibility to define a query to get a view of selected payments in a format relevant to the current analysis requirements.

There are 2 sections to this screen. The “Selection Criteria” section defines filters which determine which scheduled payments will be included in the output. The “Group By / Subtotals” section defines what order they will appear in and which fields will have independent subtotals.

Selection Criteria Fields:

Please remember that the filters work with implicit logical “AND”s between them. The only results that will be included in the output are those which pass all of the filters. This is not an either/or set of selection criteria.

Date Range: A single date, or range of dates using a dash, may be entered here in any date format compatible with the normal TCS screens. The default value is tomorrow’s date.

Client: Enter a single client code, multiple client codes separated by semicolons, or ALL. You can also enter the text “GET-LIST XXXX” where XXXX is the name of a selected list of client codes.

Desk: Enter a single desk, multiple desks separated by semicolons, or ALL. You can also enter the text “GET-LIST XXXX” where XXXX is the name of a selected list of desks.

Payment Type: Enter ACH, CC, or ALL.

Group By / Subtotals Fields:

You can specify up to 3 groupings and subtotals on the scheduled payments list screen. By entering a number between 1 and 3 next to one of the fields, the numbers of the other fields will be adjusted according to your last entry.

Show Details: Enter Y to show all payment details or N to only show subtotals on the scheduled payments list screen.

Command Prompt Options:

S: Perform the query and show the results on the next screen.

X: Exit from the Future Payments Inquiry screens, returning to the PaymentVision menu.

/: Move the cursor back up to the top of the screen to modify your entries.

Scheduled Payments List Screen:

Command Prompt Options:

P: TCS’s “Select Printer” window will display, allowing you to route the printed output as you prefer. All pages of the query results will be routed to your selected printer.

F: Create a sequential file with the detail line data tab-delimited to facilitate import of the data into a spreadsheet program. Subtotal lines will not be written to the file. The path and name of the newly created file will be displayed in a window.

N: Next page. Used if there are more query output lines than fit on a single page, and this is not the last page.

B: Back a page. Used if there are more query output lines than fit on a single page and this is not the first page.

X: Exit from the Scheduled Payments List screen, returning to the Main screen.
