FUNCTION:


  The Beneficiary Checks Module calculates distribution amounts, prints checks and creates transactions for income or principal distributions to beneficiaries. Distribution amounts can be fixed or based on a percentage of current-year income.

When you run the program, it calculates the individual beneficiary distribution amounts. After checks are printed, the program creates transaction entries for each check, ready to proof and post. At the same time, the year-to-date and life-to-date distribution totals for each beneficiary are updated so they will be available at any time for easy inquiry.

In the Check Reconciliation, you can mark cleared or voided checks for full reconciliation functionality.
 

BENEFITS:
