Production Utilities

Carreker's Production Utilities ™ consists of a series of programs designed to enhance the productivity of your CPCS check processing department by eliminating manual efforts and "single-thread" types of processing. These programs include:

JOBS
Carreker's Job Scheduler allows CPCS users to submit "batch jobs" such as extracts, report programs, etc., via a CPCS terminal to the internal reader. This feature reduces or eliminates the need for the console operator to intervene in the execution of batch jobs. This gives the check area more control over their complete processing responsibilities, eliminating the need to schedule "batch jobs" through computer operations.

STRING DELETION (ZOOM)
ZOOM is a menu

OPTIONAL FIELD CAPTURE
Optional Field Capture is a utility that allows capture of Optional Field Four and Six previous to CPCS Release 1.10. This utility can still be used in Release 1.10 or higher, if the user does not wish to utilize the expanded Mass Data Set capabilities of the later CPCS releases.

SPRAYER
During a CPCS "MICR" restart, kill bundles are created for each pocket. It is then necessary for the sorter operator to manually place divider slips in each pocket to keep the kill lists and kill bundles in sync. Sprayer increases the efficiency of MICR restarts by eliminating this manual intervention and automatically spraying divider slips to each pocket when a restart is detected. This can have a significant impact on a bank's sorter throughput and reduces the possibility of human error.

In addition, Sprayer assures the cash letter research and preparation areas that kill bundles and kill lists match. This significantly minimizes the possibility of cash letter errors and avoids the manpower expended to remedy accidental misplacement or absence of manually inserted divider slips.

ADDITIONAL UTILITIES

MICR PLUS
MICR Plus is a system designed to allow "concurrent" processing of subsequent pass and reject repair previous to CPCS Release 1.10. Reject processing and subsequent pass processing may begin at the tracer level instead of the entry level, allowing processing before the prime entry is completed. This increases productivity and reduces float loss.

LOW SPEED KILL LIST
Low Speed Kill List is a utility program that uses corrected reject string (R-string) as input and creates an I-string as output. This allows Distribution and Kill to occur on this string of data. The net result is that the user is provided with Kill listings by pocket for all the corrected rejects.
