If any secondary companies have been tied to the primary company, access those accounts by clicking the + sign. NOTE: Some services cannot be used with some account types.

You may choose from the current week’s log file up or any of the previous five week’s log files or you may specify a date range. Query Selection: You can specify that all activities should be reported or you can narrow the scope of the report with the use of queries. The two queries can be run simultaneously in order to pull two report types at once. Within each level of query, there are four selection criteria: transaction type, field to search, field value, and a logical operator to tie the fields together. (Don’t forget to use your wildcard feature!) Presentation Selection: This is the final section needed to create a report, as it identifies the form and format of the report.

On a run, the system automatically checks the criteria for sweeps and performs a transfer if the criteria is met and the funds are available. • Batch clients: Run time should be set for just once a day, one hour prior to your IFS export file is required. • Multi Batch clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times per day, one hour prior to each IFS export file. • Hybrid clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times throughout the day, the last run must be the host daily processing cut-off. • Real-Time clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times throughout the day, the last one must be before the host daily processing cut-off. • NOTE: Sweeps are managed by Intuit Financial Services' SRT (Scheduled and Recurring Transfers) engine, which is the automated program that checks account balances on business banking days and either transfers money or sends an alert.
