Deposit a foreign item?
Most foreign items must be presented to the bank for collection. This may take several days to several weeks. Whenever possible, encourage payment in US dollars drawn on a US bank. However, if you find that you have a foreign item, then:
- Use the Currency Converter website to obtain the amount of US funds the items represents.
- Indicate the conversion rate, amount and date on the back of the item.
- Prepare a CDS Miscellaneous Receipt just for this item.
- Deliver the Miscellaneous Receipt, item, and note indicating the need for collection to Payment Services, 130 University Hall.
- The Miscellaneous Receipt will be processed when Payment Services is notified by the bank that the funds have been collected.
Correct a chartstring on CDS Miscellaneous Receipt?
This will depend on the status of the Miscellaneous Receipt.
- Saved But Not Submitted: From the CDS menu, select “Edit Deposit.” Once you have the deposit form displayed, change the dollar amount on the line with the incorrect chartstring to zero. Add a line with the correct chartstring and the correct amount. Save or Submit. The lines with zero dollar amounts will be dropped from the MR.
- Submitted But Not Verified: Follow the procedures above.
- Verified But Not Uploaded: Contact Payment Services at 643-9803.
- Prepare a financial journal to move the funds in the general ledger. Alternatively, you may prepare a CDS Miscellaneous Receipt debiting the incorrect chartstring and crediting the correct chartstring. CDS can accept zero dollar deposits, however, they must go through the regular deposit process.
