Improvements

Fisherman Accounting

NS-7724 Added ACH prenotification

To verify that bank account information is set up correctly, NorthScope is offering the ability to send ACH prenotifications. We have added a Process Prenote button that will generate a .txt file that looks very similar to the ACH payment file, however the prenote file will have a zero dollar amount and a different transaction code that the bank determines as a prenote credit/debit.  To make prenotes work, we’ve added two new options to the ‘SEC Code’ field called “Checking - Prenote” and “Savings – Prenote". We will confirm the ‘Default Payment Type’ is set to “Check” when the ‘SEC Code’ is a prenote type. Additionally, we added a ‘Prenote Sent’ column to display the date/time the prenote was generated. This column is hidden by default and for informational purposes only. Clicking the Process Prenote button will populate the ‘Prenote Sent’ column.

Additional questions may be answered on our newest FAQ detailing how prenotifications work. 

You may also notice the page has been updated to the new NorthScope 3.0 framework.

And finally, did you know that you can hover over the ‘Account #’ field to view the entire account number? Yes, we’re tricky like that! It goes without saying this information won’t be displayed or printed anywhere else.


Framework

NS-7961 Updated Message Queue to work with NorthScope 3.0 Framework pages

The message queue feature now works on NorthScope 3.0 framework pages. Users will have the option to navigate directly to the Message Queue List View to view the entire message or Ignore the message altogether. On older pages that have not yet been upgraded to the new framework, the message queue disappears after a few seconds, however with the new framework you will have to either view the message or ignore.
