File Smart Print Mail v.6 and v.7 End of Financial Year Process

Overview

These instructions are intended for clients who wish to use fileSMART PrintMail to print and/or email End-of-Financial-Year Statements/Income & Expenditure Reports (EOFY Statements) to owners.

The options for using fileSMART PrintMail for EOFY Statements are:

  • Send the EOFY Statements along with the End-of-Month Statements, invoices and any other documents that are usually sent in a fileSMART PrintMail owner statement run.


    • In this case follow Part 1 and Part 2 below.


  • Send the EOFY Statements by themselves, separately from the End-of-Month Statements, invoices, and any other documents that are usually sent in a fileSMART PrintMail owner statement run.


    • If the End-of-Month procedure and EOFY procedure are being done on the same day, follow Part 1 and Part 3 below.
    • If the End-of-Month procedure and the EOFY procedure are being done on different days, follow Part 1 and Part 4 below.


fileSMART Printers

There is a slightly different statement printing process which you need to be aware of, depending on your trust accounting software. Printing your statements with the wrong printer will result in your statements not being imported into PrintMail, so please take a moment to review this section.

The table below describes the printing process that you should follow depending on the type of statement and your trust accounting software.

Statement

REST

Console Gateway Live

End-of-Month Owner Statement

fileSMART PrintMail printer

Print from Console Send Assist with PrintMail Send Assist printer

End-of-Financial-Year Owner Statement

fileSMART PrintMail printer

If the EOFY statements are being printed from the Console Send Assist module print to the PrintMail Send Assist printer

OR

If they are NOT being printed from Console Send Assist then print to the fileSMART PrintMail printer

All subsequent sections of this document refer to the End-of-Month Printer and the EOFY Printer to mean either the fileSMART PrintMail printer or the PrintMail Send Assist printer and you should use whichever is relevant to your trust system as shown in the table above.

NOTE: If you don’t have the necessary printers, please contact fileSMART Support on 1300 657 700.

Important NOTES

  1. When you print to the End-of-Month Printer or the EOFY Printer, fileSMART Auto Archive will automatically archive Owner Statements and EOFY Statements into their separate document types in fileSMART Archive.

  2. If you process multiple trusts and are using fileSMART v.6, the fileSMART Auto Archive process must be complete and the fileSMART Auto Archive screen MUST BE CLOSED before printing statements from the next trust.

    This isn’t necessary if you are using fileSMART v.7.


  1. Any EOFY Statements that are created by the trust program for archived/inactive owners may not be collated individually and won’t be emailed by fileSMART PrintMail.

    • They will be collated together as one item at the top of the collation list with the Name and Code blank.

    • They should be printed and reviewed to confirm that they are to be posted to the archived/inactive owner. The collated bundle will automatically be marked for printing.

    • If this collated bundle contains a considerable number of documents shown in the Attached Documents column, please contact fileSMART Support. It is recommended not to preview them first as creating the preview PDF file may take quite some time.

Part 1

Check if fileSMART PrintMail is configured correctly for an EOFY Statement run

  1. Open fileSMART PrintMail.

  1. Check that the Document Types listed are the ones you want to send out.
  • If you are sending EOFY Statements together with the End-of-Month Statements and other documents, then End of Year Statement and Owner Statement should both be listed, and both must be ticked as Primary Documents.
  • If you are sending EOFY Statements on their own, then the ‘End of Year Statement’ should be the only Document Type listed here, and it should be ticked as Primary Document.
  • To change the Primary Document ticks, click the Edit button at the top-left of the screen, make the change, then click the Save button at the top-left of the screen.
