The Last CART Request ID field on the SA Features page displays the last CART Request ID that the system assigned to a CART request file. Each request file has a unique request ID. The system automatically increments the Last CART Request ID each time the CART Request File process loads a request file.

If required, reset the Last CART Request ID number. Set a number so that automatic numbering does not create numbers that already exist in the data.

This field appears only if you select the DEST, HECS, Centrelink, TAC check box on the SA Features page.
