1. WIRE TEMPLATES
1.1 Creating Online Wire Templates
Sign into the website, go to the Transactions drop-down, and click on Wires.
On the far right-hand side of the page, click on the Manage Templates link.
On the Setup screen, click on Manage Wire Templates. Then click Add Template to begin
building your template.
After a template is saved, it will appear in the Approve Templates tab to be approved by a
second user.
2. WIRE PROCESSES
2.1 Initiating a Wire
Under the Transactions drop-down, click on Wires.
Click on Single Wire from the menu bar. Select the application you will be using for your
wire.
Note:
If you are using a repetitive template for your
wire, you will only need to enter the dollar
amount of the wire and the value date (effective
date).
When using CMO, you can enter wires up to 4
business days prior to your effective date.
If the wire is non-repetitive, you will need to
enter in the dollar amount, beneficiary account
number, name and any detail you would like
included with the wire.
After entering the wire detail, click on Queue.
After the transaction is successfully entered, you
will see the status for the Wire on the Transaction
List as ENTERED.
Click on Transaction List to view the entered wire. From this screen, you can Delete, Revise,
Approve or Release the wire.
If your wires are setup to require approval before being released, a user who did not enter
the wire is required to complete this step. The user should verify the wire detail and then
click on Approve. After the wire has been approved, it can be released.
If your wires do not require approval, click on Release. With dual control, a user who did not
create the wire must sign in to release the wire. You will be prompted to enter your pin
number twice. If your PIN and Confirm PIN do not match you will be prompted to re-enter
it.
Once the wire is successfully released, the Wire Status will change from ENTERED to
PENDING_REL. During the process of entering and releasing a wire, you will see several
status changes. To see a complete list of statues, please see the Appendix at the end of this
document.
Wires must be released by 4:00pm CST to be effective same day. If your wire is not
released, it will remain on the Transaction List for four days. The effective date must be
updated in order to release it before it moves to Wire History at the end of the fourth day.
To update and release with your pin, select the transaction from the Transaction List and
click Release.
Next you will see a prompt that the transaction is backdated. Click OK to change the value
date.
To update by approving the wire, select the transaction from the Transaction List and click
Approve (you will only see Approve as an option if this is what you have selected per your
wire agreement).
Click OK on the prompt that the transaction is backdated. The Transaction List will refresh
and show the following message. If your wire does not require any additional approvals
after this step, it can be released by a pin holder.
To update by revising the wire, select the transaction from the Transaction List and click
Revise.
Click Queue and then return to the Transaction List. If your wire does not require any
additional approvals after this step, it can be released by a pin holder.
2.4 Wire Alerts
Alerts are available that can be used to notify you if a wire needs to be released or if a wire is
about to be removed from the Transaction List.
There are two Outgoing wire alerts to choose from – one generates multiple alerts through the
day and one generates an end of day alert that there is a wire that needs to be released. There is
also an alert that you can use to be reminded of any stale dated wires that you may want to
update and release.
To add a new Alert, click on Transactions
and then on Cash Management Setup. Click
on Add an Alert. Select an alert type from
the drop down, create a name and add
email address(es).
Note: If you would like to receive the stale
dated wire alert each of the 4 days that a
stale dated wire exists on the Transaction
List, you can setup 4 alerts. Specify the
number of days in the # of Days Prior to
Removal field.
Use the file Information section to indicate if Headers or Trailers are present. Make sure
your date format and separator are correct as well as amount format. The Wire Detail
Information will populate based on the Wire Application(s) that you select. The fields listed
with a red asterisk are required or default fields. If you wish to add any others, select those
fields by placing a check in the box to the left. Click on Preview Format to view and/or print
your format. Click Save when complete.
Go to Transactions and click on Wires to return to the Wire module. Then click on Wire
Import. Choose your format name from the drop down box. Click Browse to find your file
and click OK to start the import.
Your Import Status will say Successful or Failed. The import report will confirm file totals,
the number of wires imported or not imported, and if the file failed the comments will tell
you why it failed.
If your wires imported successfully, you will see them at an Entered status on the
Transaction List.
In the event that the Cash Management Online system is not available, wires can be called into the Wire
Operations department at 1-800-638-9777. Please give your name and the company you are calling on
behalf of to the wire operator and they will prompt you for the wire instructions needed.
The cut off for wires is 4:00pm CST. Wires initiated after the cut-off time will automatically have an
effective date of the next banking day.
