# OTCnet Deposit Reporting Set-Up Worksheet

# Introduction

This document provides guidance for agencies/bureaus onboarding to OTCnet Deposit Reporting. It serves as an overview of the onboarding process as well as a worksheet to help Agencies gather all of the information required for setup.  It is not required to complete the worksheet to return to your Deployment Specialist, however, Agencies may find it helpful to record all of the required information for setup in a centralized document.

## Agency Profile

Please provide the information below about the location(s) that will onboard to OTCnet.  The **Accounting Specialist**, a type of user in OTCnet, will create a hierarchy for your agency/bureau and create endpoints in the hierarchy structure for submitting deposits.  Users are provisioned at levels in the hierarchy, which are assigned ALCs, to perform Deposit Reporting functions including preparing/submitting deposits and running reports.

## Financial Institution Information

To process deposits in OTCnet, an agency must have a banking relationship with a TGA Financial Institution (FI).  Once setup in OTCnet your agency will submit the Debit Voucher created in OTCnet to your FI for settlement.  If you do not have an FI relationship, please contact your Deployment Specialist for assistance.  The following information is inputted by the **Accounting Specialist** during set-up and can be verified by your FI if it is unknown.

1 The Routing Transit Number (RTN), also known as the ABA number, is the nine digit routing number that identifies the FI within OTCnet. 

2 The Demand Deposit Account (DDA) is the account at a financial institution where an organization deposits collections.

## Users

The following user roles are required for an agency to use OTCnet for Deposit Reporting and are created by the **Primary Local Security Administrator (PLSA)** and/or **Local Security Administrators (LSA)** and are provisioned at an Access Group, a certain level within your hierarchy. Please note that while some roles may be combined under one user, the **PLSA** and **LSA** roles cannot be shared with any other role.  Please note that if your location(s) will be part of a hierarchy that is already in OTCnet, some of the users below will likely already exist, such as the **PLSA**, **LSA**s, and **Accounting Specialist** and may not need to be created.  In this case, please work with the current **PLSA**, **LSA**s, and **Accounting Specialist** at your agency/bureau for guidance.
