Processing Options

Field or Control

Definition

Aging Set

Enter the aging set containing the aging categories to which you want to assign outstanding charges.

ID Switch

Choose whether the Credit History process includes students or organizations. Select the By Emplid (by employee ID) value to run the process for students or the By Org ID (by organization ID) value to run the process for organizations.

Select the identification number of the student for whom you are running the Credit History process.

External Org ID (external organization ID)

Select the identification number of the organization for which you are running the Credit History process.

Start ID and End ID

Last Activity Date

Enter the date on or after which activity must have occurred in a student or corporate account to be included in the Credit History process.

Temp Table ID

Select the temp table into which the system inserts records for credit history processing.

Last Activity Date Options

Use this group box to specify how the system should determine the Last Activity Date for the temp table option. Use this group box in conjunction with the Process Only group box.

Field or Control

Definition

Use This Date

Enter the date the system uses as the Last Activity Date. For example, if you enter January 10 2009, only activities that have occurred on or after January 10 2009 in a student or corporate account are included in the Credit History process.

Use Last Run Date

Select to have the system use the date when the Credit History process last ran as the Last Activity Date. To find out the last run date, the system looks at records with the same Operator ID and Run Control ID as the current run. If the last run date record is not available, the system sets the Last Activity Date as one day prior to the current run date. For example, if you run the Credit History process on January 10 2009 and the system does not find any last run record, the system uses January 09 2009 as the Last Activity Date.

Use Run Date Minus (days)

Enter the number of days that the system should subtract from the current run date to calculate the Last Activity Date. For example, if you enter 2 in this field and the process is run on January 10 2009, the system uses January 08 2009 as the Last Activity Date.

Process Only

Use this group box in conjunction with the Last Activity Date Options group box for the Temp Table option.

Field or Control

Definition

Last Activity

Select to run the process for students or organizations that have activities occurring on or after the Last Activity Date. For example, if you have selected this option and entered January 10 2009 in the Use This Date field, only activities that have occurred on or after January 10 2009 in a student or corporate account are included in the Credit History process.

Last Activity and Age History

Select to run the process for students or organizations that have activities occurring on or after the Last Activity Date.

By selecting this option, the process includes the existing non-zero credit history records in the temporary table for processing. These records are included to ensure that the correct aging category is applied (an existing entry moves from a past due aging category to another, for example, from past due 31-60 to past due 61 -90).

The Last Activity and Age History selection excludes the accounts in the maximum aging category, if no activity has occurred since the last activity date specified. These accounts cannot age beyond the maximum aging category. To reduce the population selected for the credit history process and improve performance, the accounts are therefore not selected. Removing a service indicator does not constitute an activity.

To Release Service Indicators

Select to run the process for students or organizations that have activities occurring on or after the Last Activity Date. By selecting this option, the process also determines whether the selected activities have service indicators which need to be released. The process uses the options you have set up in the Service Indicator Set group box to determine which service indicators need to be considered.

Include Max Aged History

If service indicators have been manually removed for any accounts in this category, the accounts will not be included in the credit history process and a service indicator will not be placed on the account again.

If you select the Include Max Aged History check box, the accounts in the maximum aging category are included in the temp table and are processed in the credit history process.

Population Selection

Use this group box if you want to use a Population Selection tool for the temp table option. You can select only PS Query or External File as the selection tool. For information about Population Selection, see Campus Community Fundamentals .
