Definition of Common terms for Area Office Payment Processing

  1. Terminal Hold Areas—Temporary data storage areas within the system where input remittance data is held until input blocks of remittances have been successfully completed and balanced. Data in the hold areas can be corrected, added to or deleted until the block is balanced, after which the input remittances will be automatically released for end-of-day processing and the hold areas will be cleared for input of the next block.

  2. Tax Class Counters—A set of counters, which accumulate the money amounts input to each True Tax Class. The counters are maintained so that total amounts input for each tax class may be called up and printed for use in preparing the Certificate of Deposit. The counters are added to only when a balanced input block is released. The counters are reset every time CC ETXCL is input and are set to the amount input with CC ETXCL (if no amount is input for a specific tax class that counter is set to zero).

  3. Payment Sequence Number—A 13-digit number that must be established in the terminal after the Tax Class Counters are set and prior to input of remittances. CC SEQNC establishes the number and provides the three digit Julian Date and 3 digit Sequence Number portion of the Payment Sequence Number, the remainder of which is generated from terminal and employee number data. The 3 digit Sequence Number when input will always be for the next PAYMT to be input. After CC SEQNC is used to establish or update it, the terminal maintains the Payment Sequence Number. It will assign the number to each PAYMT and then increment the number by one to create a unique number for the next payment. The Payment Sequence Number carries information used in constructing the True DLN of the payment, in preparing the Area Office Remittance Register, and in building a research and Audit trail unique to each remittance.

  4. Deposit Day —The Tax Class Counters and Payment Sequence Numbers are maintained for remittances to be included on the CD deposited on a specific date. The Deposit Day begins when the first remittance is input for a specific deposit date and ends with completion of the last input block of remittances for that deposit date. The Deposit Day may begin on the morning of day of deposit, or on the afternoon of the previous workday (PM input).

    Note:

    The Deposit Day concept is basic to Area Office Payment terminal input operations and subsequent accounting operations

    .

  5. NON-IDRS Indicator—This field specifies the IDRS condition of the tax module to which a remittance is being directed. Unless prior research has been undertaken, all tax modules will be presumed to be present on IDRS. If the taxpayer's account or module is not on IDRS, upon receiving the error message response the terminal operator will verify that all data has been entered correctly from the source document. If the source document is not a printed IRS notice or other IRS form, tax account research may be undertaken if necessary to determine correct TIN, name control, type of tax or period, in order to insure a correct posting.

  6. Block Balancing—This feature assures correct input of remittance amounts. The money total (from an adding machine tape of remittance amounts) for an input block is entered with CC STBLK. When all items in the block are complete, the STBLK amount is automatically compared to an accumulated total of all item amounts. If the totals do not agree, an error response is given and the out-of-balance condition must be corrected before the input block will be released.

  7. Transaction Codes—This field used to identify a transaction being processed and to maintain a history of actions posted to a taxpayer's account on the Master File.

  8. MFT Codes—The MFT codes are required in each transaction to identify the specific module to which a transaction is to be posted.

2.4.15.1.6 (01-01-2000)

Overview of Terminal Input of Payments

  1. Blocks will be received which consist of remittances, related posting documents, and an adding machine tape showing the total value of remittances and the number of input items in the block.

  2. The first action for each Deposit Day will be input of CC ETXCL. This will set the terminal tax counters at zero, in order to begin a cumulative count of payment amounts by class of tax for the day's deposit. A provision is provided for amounts to be input to reset these counters to the correct amount in case of power failure, terminal realignment overnight, etc. Normally, CC ETXCL need be used only once for each deposit day.

  3. This command code wipes out the Payment Sequence Number and any data in STBLK and Payment Hold Areas.

  4. The next action after input of CC ETXCL will be input of CC SEQNC to establish a Payment Sequence Number for the terminal. CC SEQNC is also required if a different operator inputs payments at the same terminal, in order to update the operator number in the Payment Sequence Number. The operator should verify the days/dates on the screen after CC SEQNC is input.

  5. CC STBLK is used to begin input of the block of payments and establish document count and total amount for the block and set the Transaction Register Indicator. Satisfactory entry will result in generated display of CC PAYMT. Taxpayer entities that are either "dummy" entities or not present on the TIF are validity checked against the NAP files. Additional validation checks will be done for IMF and BMF dummy modules by accessing CFOL. As each payment is posted correctly, entry will result in a response display of the payment input Command Code PAYMT, and a 13-digit Payment Sequence Number. The number is stamped on the remittance relating to the posting just entered and on the source document or posting voucher. Input the next payment and subsequent remittance item until the block is completed.

  6. Upon satisfactory entry of the final payment in the block, the response display will show CC PYBAL and last payment's Payment Sequence Number. When the ENTER key is depressed after input of entry code, the response for a block in balance (the computer's accumulated block document count and amount is equal to block document count and the amount input with CC STBLK when block was begun) is a display of PAYMENTS. The display "PAYMENTS" is followed by the block count, the amount, the beginning sequence number, the ending sequence number and cumulative totals by true tax classes. (These totals are cumulative for the terminal, identical to those displayed with TXCTL). Print out each balanced block by depressing the PRINT key. If a block is out of balance, provisions have been made to make necessary corrections. See VARIANCE and VARIA.

  7. If need arises to change the number of items or the amount for the block, command code CRBLK is used. Both the number of items and the block amount must be entered, even if only one field is being corrected. The Transaction Register Indicator may also be corrected with this command code.

  8. Command Code TXCTL is used to obtain the cumulative tax class totals for all blocks input through a terminal at the end of each day's posting. These totals are printed and adding machine tape run for all terminals inputting payment blocks. The consolidated totals will be used in preparing the deposit documents.

2.4.15.1.7 (01-01-2000)

Posting Items to the Next Day's Deposit

  1. If volume requires, payments may be input for the next day's deposit after the cutoff time for the current deposit date. Use CC ETXCL and CC SEQNC to set counters and establishes a Payment Sequence Number for new Julian Deposit Date. Begin input of a block only if it could be completed before the close of business. Key in command code TXCTL after the last block is balanced before the close of business. Print a copy of the tax class totals. Attach the tax class totals print to the terminal. Before continuing input for that deposit on the next workday, input TXCTL and compare the screen display with the print made at the end of the previous workday. If they are not identical in all respects, use ETXCL and SEQNC to re-establish the totals as shown on the previous workday's TXCTL print and to establish the next Payment Sequence Number. The tax class totals and last Payment Sequence Number may also be found on the PAYMENTS display of the last block input on the previous workday. If TXCTL print and display agree, input STBLK and continue the day's deposit.

2.4.15.1.8 (01-01-2000)

Recovery of Data in Event of Breakdown

  1. If a terminal or the system should break down while a block is in process, the action required would depend on how long it is expected to take to become operational again.

  2. If a single terminal is involved and it is not expected to become operational in time to complete the day's deposit actions: Reprocess the block which was Terminal. Renumber the related remittances when input at the new terminal. When the malfunction is corrected, delete the partially completed block in the old terminal.

  3. If the system is down and not expected to be operational in time to complete the day's deposit actions, request instructions for completion of the deposit from supervisor. When the malfunction is corrected, it will be necessary to determine if any of the input data has been lost. Use command code TXCTL to determine the Payment Sequence Number of the last payment included in the cumulative tax class totals. Re-input any missing items and renumber the related remittances.

2.4.15.1.9 (01-01-2000)

General Error Messages
