Maintain EOM Date List

System Management System Management Maintain EOM Date List

This document provides technical guidance for users on maintaining the End of Month (EOM) Date List within the FLEX system. This feature is crucial for credit unions utilizing unattended End of Period (EOP) processing.

1. Purpose of the EOM Date List

The EOM Date List is designed to specify an alternative date for Member EOM processing when the true calendar month-end date falls on a day the credit union is normally closed.

  • Necessity: Only add dates to this list if the credit union will be closed on the actual month-end date and Member EOM needs to run on an earlier date.
  • Exclusion: If the credit union is open on the true month-end date, there is no need to add that date to this list.

2. Locating Maintain EOM Date List

To access the “Maintain EOM Date List” function:

  • Navigate to the FLEX Main Menu.
  • Locate and select System Management.
  • Within System Management, find and select Maintain EOM Date List.
    • Visual Reference: Refer to the provided image within the FLEX Academy documentation for the exact menu path.

3. Understanding the EOM Date List Display

The EOM Date List displays all previously added EOM dates.

  • Displayed Information:
    • Opt: An option field for actions (S, D, A).
    • EOM Date: The date entered for EOM processing.
    • For EOM: The true calendar month-end date that the EOM Date is replacing.
    • Expired: Indicates if the entry is no longer active.
  • Important Note: If a date is added that the credit union is normally open, the system will display the message *Record not needed. See note above.* next to the entry.
