1) Response :

Spoke to PM to get some more info (his number is :

‘Before he balances; he rems out his cheques (although sometimes 1 or 2 more
icheques are taken before he balances the SU)

He Declares Cash then Declares Stamps; then finally Declares Stock. On the

‘first Declare Stock line; he includes any ‘rest home’ cheques which ne is
holding.
@This results in a discrepancy between the system cheque figure and the
eclared figure.
‘Something has changed in the counter code recently (I think at COUNTER _EPOSS
120.3; released end Nov) which causes the discrepancy to be recorded wrongly;
liso the cheque discrepancy; instead of being cleared; is doubled; and the cash
is also wrongly adjusted.

ever I think the PM should not be declaring his ‘rest home’ cheques in
fthis way; even if he has always done so ~ need to get advice on this or;
preferably; get NBSC to explain what the proper procedure is.

hen PM balanced yesterday; I advised him to leave the Cheque line in Declare
peock blank - i.e. not to put the ‘rest home’ cheque in there.

je did as advised - and the problem has gone away - Cheque line 2051 is zero;
fash line 2050 is £132293.61; which is what he declared

Spoke to PM and explained that there is a new software problem; so that what
@ has been doing for 2 years no longer works. He's happy with this. Also
spoke to the auditor who was onsite; explained that I had advised him not to
Mdeclare these cheques in this way - she confirmed that they should be put in
ithe suspense account; and said she would talk him through the procedures. She
also asked about another cheque which was not being handled correctly (not a
heque received in payment nor a rest home cheque); I knew nothing about this
3 the PM hadn't mentioned it.

Information above has been emailed to Julie Welsh
Please can EPOSS development have a look at this:

this site; since 3rd Dec (almost certainly as a result of the fixes in
COUNTER_EPOSS 20_3); a discrepancy (gain) on cheques is written to the
jnessagestore with Mode DDN. In fact 3 lines are written: product 2; -ve
salevalue; product 222; -ve salevalue; product 1; tve salevalue (sum of the
ther 2). Summary file shows these messages; and also what happened before
Brd Dec.

‘his is a nasty problem as; if cheques continue to be declared each week on
ithe Declare Stock screen; the numbers keep doubling. However there is a
imple circumvention and; as they should not be declaring cheques in this
ay; it shouldn't have much impact. But I think it should be looked at and
resolved (any chance for S60??) - might be instances whre it really does
ause problems.

who will pass it on to POL.

I'd like to add that this can occur when a clerk declares any cheque short of
what the system has calculated; the fact that the clerk/PM in this instance
fas going against normal procedure is irrelevant. Multiply this potentially
