View the Disbursements list. | The disbursements visible to a user are not filtered by structure
but by bank account. The user does not need security access to
the associated structures in order to view a disbursement, but
does need access to the associated bank account.
If the user is not also granted the Employee Disbursements right under General Ledger > Disbursements, disbursements issued to employees are also excluded from the view. |
||
Add a disbursement. | Users can only add disbursements for bank accounts and entities they have security access to, and they can only offset GL accounts and structures that they have security access to. | ||
Edit disbursement detail. | Users without this right can access disbursement detail (granted they have the View right under General Ledger > Disbursements), but the detail displays in view only mode. | Users who are granted this right can edit existing detail lines for structures they do not have rights to, but they cannot add new detail lines for structures they do not have rights to. | |
Include detail lines applied to a premium statement and detail lines not applied to a premium statement on the same disbursement. | If this right is denied and the user selects an Apply
to of Premium Statement
(could be a Premium Payable, Direct Bill Commissions, or Producer/Broker
Payables statement) for a detail line on a disbursement, Premium Statement must also
be selected as the Apply to
for all following detail lines. Conversely, if the user selects
an Apply to of something
other than Premium Statement,
Premium Statement will not be an available Apply
to selection for any additional detail lines.
Restricting this right ensures that statement payments and other payments are kept separate. |
||
Modify the mailing address on a disbursement. | If this right is denied to most users, the Contact, Address, and Site ID in the Mailing Address section of the disbursement will retain their default values, which are the account name and the address/site ID for the primary contact on the account. This helps ensure consistency in the mailing address for cheques to that account. | ||
Modify the payee on a disbursement. | If this right is denied to most users, the Payee field on a disbursement will remain as the default, which is the account's name. This helps ensure consistency in the payee for cheques to that account. | ||
Add a disbursement with a Type
of Employee.
View disbursements issued to employees. |
Users without this right cannot view or issue employee disbursements, but are still able to print employee cheques. | ||
Enter a payee that is not a contact on the selected account when adding a disbursement. | Granting this right enables a user to add custom payee information (i.e. the Payee and Mailing Address fields allow freeform entry rather than just the selection of existing contacts). | ||
Apply disbursements to an account/client/policy or to the General Ledger (for disbursement types other than Vendor or Employee) rather than to specific items or statements. | The implications of this security right vary based on the Type of disbursement being
added.
|
||
Use the Void Disbursement action available from the Disbursements list. | |||
Select the Unpaid radio button in the Update Payable Statements or Update Direct Bill Statements frame when voiding a disbursement. | Selecting this radio button changes the associated reconciliation statement's status from Paid to Unpaid. Because this option completely removes the association between the disbursement and the statement, you may wish to restrict it in order to retain a more complete audit history. | ||
Use the Create EFT File action available from the Disbursements list. | Users with this right can generate the disbursement EFT file that will be uploaded to a financial institution's website. These files contain sensitive banking information, so security access should be granted accordingly. |

Add a General Ledger Export batch. | Users who are denied this right but granted all other rights under General Ledger > Export are able to perform the entire export process on existing batches but are unable to create their own batches. | ||
Edit the Description
of a General Ledger Export batch.
View General Ledger Export batch detail. |
Export batch detail includes all General Ledger entries and
account balances that will be included in the export file.
Because it is recommended to review the contents before creating the file, anyone granted permission to export a batch should be granted Edit rights as well. |
In order to view batch detail, users must have security access to all agencies associated to the batch. | |
Delete a General Ledger Export batch. | Users without this right cannot delete any export batches, including batches with a Status of Failed. | ||
Override the default file destination when creating a General Ledger Export batch. | File destinations default based on the mapping file selected. To ensure that all export files are saved to the same location, you may wish to restrict this right. | ||
Override the default file name when creating a General Ledger Export batch. | File names default based on the mapping file selected. To ensure that a naming convention is followed so that the export files are easily identifiable, you may wish to restrict this right. | ||
Use the Cancel Batch action in General Ledger > Export. | Cancelling a batch unflags all included General Ledger items, removing their association with the batch and allowing them to be included in future batches. | ||
Use the Export Batch action in General Ledger > Export. | Exporting a batch creates an Excel file that contains all General Ledger activity and the resulting account balances. The same batch can be exported multiple times. | Unless granted the Actions - Export Finalized Batch right, users can export batches with a status of Created or Exported only. | |
Use the Export Batch action in General Ledger > Export on a batch with a Status of Finalized. | Exporting a batch creates an Excel file that contains all General Ledger activity and the resulting account balances. The same batch can be exported multiple times. | ||
Use the Finalize Batch action in General Ledger > Export. | Finalizing a batch prevents it from being edited, and also
prevents it from being exported by users who are not granted the
Actions - Export Finalized Batch permission.
Batches can be finalized only if they have already been exported or if their debit and credit balances both equal $0.00. |
||
Use the Modify Next Scheduling/Recurrence action in General Ledger > Export. | This action can be used to cancel/reschedule the generation
of an export batch and to determine whether or not the batch should
be generated on a recurring basis.
If a scheduled job already exists for the selected batch, this action will modify the scheduled job. |

Edit Dates/Months |
Modify Effective date and Accounting month fields in several areas of the General Ledger (see Implications column). | Areas affected by this right:
|
|
View Bank Account Balances |
View bank account balance placeholders when adding General Ledger items. | If a user granted this right selects a bank account when adding a General Ledger item (e.g. a disbursement), the balance of that bank account displays as a placeholder. Denying this right prevents the user from viewing the bank account balance before issuing a check, but helps to protect potentially sensitive information. | |
Use the Transfer of Funds action available in the General Ledger. | A user without this right is unable to transfer money from one bank account/agency to another via this action and must make manual General Ledger entries instead. | ||
Run the On Demand General Ledger Register report. | Users without this right might still be able to run the General Ledger Register report from the Reports/Marketing area. | ||
Run the On Demand Status of Accounts report. | Users without this right might still be able to run the Status of Accounts report from the Reports/Marketing area. | ||
Pay Finalized Statements |
Use the Pay Statement action on statements with a status of Finalized in the Premium Payable, Producer/Broker Payables, or Government Payable Reconciliations area. | Users without this right cannot pay statements unless they have a status of Approved. If you wish to approve all statements via the Approve for Payment action before they can be paid by accounting personnel, you should restrict this right. | |
Add/Edit Default Entries |
Select a default entry from the Default
entry dropdown list when adding a disbursement, voucher
or journal entry.
Check the Add as Default Entry checkbox on the Detail screen when adding a disbursement, voucher, or journal entry. |
||
Add detail lines to a disbursement or voucher that include General Ledger accounts not associated to the bank account being used (in other words, the General Ledger account and the bank account do not share an agency). | This is only valid for detail rows applied to the General Ledger.
These disbursements/vouchers involve the creation of interagency rows. Users who are not granted this security right will not be able to void disbursements or vouchers with interagency rows or to edit or copy default/recurring disbursements/vouchers that include interagency rows. This security right also affects what allocation methods/structure groupings are available for selection when the user clicks the Get Allocation link label on a disbursement or voucher. Users with this right will be able to select allocation methods/structure groupings containing agencies not associated to the bank account. |
Users must have security access to the bank account used for the disbursement/voucher as well as the GL account and structure associated to the detail row in order to create interagency rows. | |
Change Include Check Stub Detail |
Override the Include check stub detail setting when adding/editing disbursements, vouchers, or default/recurring disbursements/vouchers. | This checkbox determines whether the check stub and any overflow pages will print. If it is not selected, only the check will print, regardless of the layout used. |

Criteria - Override Accounting Method | Override the default setting of Accounting method for the Pr/Br Agency Bill Commission and Pr/Br Direct Bill Commission criteria options when adding a reconciliation statement. | Changing the Pr/Br Agency Bill Commission and Pr/Br Direct Bill Commission criteria to something other than Accounting method enables the user to reconcile and pay brokers differently from how they are installed to be paid. This could mean advancing money to brokers (for example, if brokers are set to be paid on a Cash - Fully Paid basis and the user selects to pay them on an Accrual basis). | |
Actions - Approve for Payment | Use the Approve for Payment action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | This action is used to update a statement's status from Finalized to Approved. Statements must have a status of Approved in order to be paid by users who are not granted the Pay Finalized Statements right under General Ledger > General. | Users who are not granted the Pay Finalized Statements right under General Ledger > General should not be granted this right, as it would allow them to circumvent the restriction against paying statements that have not been approved. |

Actions - Batch Process Statements | Use the Batch Process Statements action to pay broker commission payable reconciliation statements. | When this action is implemented, the system automatically generates the appropriate disbursements for all selected statements. | |
Actions - Close Without Paying | Use the Close Without Paying action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | This action should only be used if the statement amount is $0.00 or if cleaning up old payables. | |
Actions - Finalize Statement | Use the Finalize Statement action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | Changing a statement's status to Finalized allows that statement to be paid by users who are granted the Pay Finalized Statements right under General Ledger > General. If users are not granted this right, they will not be able to pay the finalized statements until they are approved for payment. | |
Actions - Modify Payment Month | Use the Modify Payment Month action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | A month cannot be closed if any suspended statements exist for that month. This action can be used to move a statement's accounting month forward if the statement cannot be reconciled by Month-End. | |
Actions - Pay Statement | Use the Pay Statement action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | Because this action navigates the user to the Disbursements area, the user must also be granted the Add right under General Ledger > Disbursements. | |

Actions - Reopen Statement | Use the Reopen Statement
action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement.
Reopen a broker commission payable statement when voiding the associated disbursement or voucher. |
Reopening a statement allows that statement to be modified. A statement can only be reopened if the accounting month is open. | |
Actions - Reprocess Statement | Use the Reprocess Statement action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement that failed to be reversed or recreated. | In most cases, a statement reversal or recreation will fail due to pending processes against one or more items on the statement (e.g., a transaction exists on a suspended receipt). Once the pending processes have been finalized, the Reprocess Statement action can be used to complete the reversal/recreation. | |
Actions - Reverse Statement | Use the Reverse Statement
action on a broker commission payable statement.
Reverse a broker commission payable statement when voiding the associated disbursement or voucher. |
Only finalized or approved statements can be reversed via this action. Reversing a statement creates an equal but opposite statement that offsets the original. When reversing a statement, users also have the option to recreate the original statement with a status of Suspended or Finalized. Without this right, users cannot make adjustments to statements in a locked, posted, or finalized month. | |
Actions - Add Additional Items | Use the Add Additional Items action on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | This action enables a user to include future credit items on a statement or to advance money by pulling in additional items that did not meet the original criteria result set. If you do not wish for users to be able to advance money, they should be denied this right. | |
Adjust Commissions - Agcy | Adjust agency commission for an item on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | This security right enables the user to add or delete issuing companies or premium payable entities on the transaction, provided the accounting month is open and no actions have been performed on the transaction. Users will also be able to modify the payable due dates. | In order to adjust producer/broker commissions from this area, the user must also be granted the Adjust Commissions - Pr/Br right under General Ledger > Reconciliations - Broker Commission Payables. |
Adjust Commissions - Pr/Br | Adjust producer/broker commission for an item on a broker commission payable reconciliation statement. | This security right enables the user to add, edit, or delete producers or brokers on the transaction, provided the accounting month is open and no actions have been performed on the transaction. Users will also be able to modify the payable due dates. | In order to adjust agency commission information from this area, the user must also be granted the Adjust Commissions - Agcy right under General Ledger > Reconciliations - Broker Commission Payables. |
Discrepancy | Use the Discrepancy button available from broker commission payable statement detail to add or resolve a discrepancy record. | A discrepancy indicates that the premium or commission information on a transaction is different from what is expected.

Use the Pay Vouchers action available from the Vouchers list. | The Pay Vouchers action turns vouchers into disbursements that can then be printed. | Users can only pay vouchers if they have access to the associated bank accounts. | |
Apply vouchers to an account/client/policy or to the General Ledger (for voucher types other than Vendor or Employee) rather than to specific items or statements. | The implications of this security right vary based on the Type of voucher being added.
|
||
Include detail lines applied to a premium statement and detail lines not applied to a premium statement on the same voucher. | If this right is denied and the user selects an Apply
to of Premium Statement
(could be a Premium Payable, Direct Bill Commissions, or Producer/Broker
Payables statement) for a detail line on a voucher, Premium
Statement must also be selected as the Apply
to for all following detail lines. Conversely, if the user
selects an Apply to of
something other than Premium
Statement, Premium Statement will not be an available Apply to selection for any
additional detail lines.
Restricting this right ensures that statement payments and other payments are kept separate. |
||
Enter a payee that is not a contact on the selected account when adding a voucher. | Granting this right enables a user to add custom payee information (i.e. the Payee and Mailing Address fields allow freeform entry rather than just the selection of existing contacts). | ||
Use the Void Voucher action available from the Vouchers list. | |||
Select the Unpaid radio button in the Update Payable Statements or Update Direct Bill Statements frame when voiding a voucher. | Selecting this radio button changes the associated reconciliation statement's status from Paid to Unpaid. Because this option completely removes the association between the voucher and the statement, you may wish to restrict it in order to retain a more complete audit history. |
