Suppressed Entity Level Defines Suppression Scope

Suppression can apply at one of four entity levels - person, account, tax role or obligation. The base package provides common logic to determine if suppression is in effect for an entity. This logic considers all suppression records for the entity and its higher level entities.

Suppression scope can be summarized as follows:

It is possible for a given entity, such as an obligation, to be affected by suppressions with differing periods or at differing levels. For example, a suppression record may be manually added for an account with one or more obligations. A subsequent bankruptcy case may be created that includes one of those account's obligations. The system assumes that both suppressions are in effect for the obligation and that the period of suppression starts from the start of the earlier suppression record (for the account) until the later of the two release dates.

Note that the release date of a suppression event is the date on which the suppression ceases to have effect. Processes that are put on hold due to suppression will restart processing on the release date - for example, overdue events will be triggered on the day of release. For P&I calculations, P&I will be suppressed from the start date of the suppression until the day prior to the release date, inclusive.
