   POSTGL field descriptions

   The table below explains the acceptable data for each field.

   Field	Trade Type	Description
   SNAM/AC		The account short name (SNAM) or account number (BWNUM) to which you are posting.
   TRDTY	DLV	Deliver cash out. This type of trade is also used to post fees other than advisory fees, such as custodian fees. This affects the principal cash amount, and reflects a change in capital.
   	RCV	Receive cash or stock in. This affects the principal cash amount, and reflects a change in capital. Receives of stock are posted in the general ledger only as a memo to record a stock dividend. All actual receives of stock must be posted throught TRADESNEW to be included in the account portfolio.
   	TFR	Transfer from income to principal. A negative transfer amount transfers principal to income. There is no change in the cash balance however, since both income and principal are affected. There is no capital change.
   	INT	Interest earned. This affects the income amount, although there is no change in capital.
   	INTACC	Interest accrued–received or paid. The system calculates this from the trades batch, and posts it automatically to the general ledger. This affects the income amount; however, there is no reflection of a change in capital.
   	DIV	Dividend earned. This affects the income amount; however, there is no change in capital.
   	INC	Income earned. This affects the income amount; although there is no change in capital.
   	FEEADV	Advisory fees. Fees paid out of an account must be reflected with a negative dollar amount. Fees posted with a positive amount are considered rebates. This affects the income amount, and also reflects a change in capital.
   	DIVRNV	Dividends reinvested. This affects the income amount, but does not reflect a change in capital.
   	RCVINC	Income received. This affects the income amount as a capital addition. There is a reflection of a change in capital.
   	DLVINC	Income delivered out. This affects the income amount as a capital withdrawal. This reflects a change in capital.
   	PRI	Principal. Creates an addition or subtraction to the principal cash balance. It is considered money earned, not as a capital distribution. It affects the principal amount, but does not reflect a change in capital.
   	MEMO	Memorandum item. There is no change in the cash balance. It does not affect income, principal, or capital.
   TICK		The ticker symbol of the security. In most cases, the ticker is CASH-1 for receives or delivers. (We use CASH-1 as the internal TICK for cash received, because “CASH” is the NASDAQ ticker symbol for First Midwest Financial, Inc.)
   SACUS / CUSIP		The SACUS or CUSIP number for the security. The SACUS for cash is 13321. For income on a security, use the SACUS or CUSIP number .
