MultiSuspense Element

Suspense tracks the flow of money as it is received by the carrier and then consumed by one or more Policy level activities. The existence of this element in the transaction configuration will add a Suspense tab to an Activity entry. One or more Suspense items must be selected or entered on this tab and the user must provide the amount to "attach" to each Suspense item. As the Activity processes, the entered amounts are "attached" to each of the Suspense items reducing or clearing the amount available to subsequent "attachments". If a Suspense item's amount is not available to attach its assigned activity value, an error will be generated.

Element/Tag Parent Element Attribute Description

<MultiSuspense>

 

 

Optional:

This element adds the Suspense tab to the Activity entry so that a user may select one or more Suspense items and assign each to a portion of the Activity's amount. This element cannot exist in the same transaction definition as the <Suspense> element. The element's field reference contains the amount that is the total this activity will attach. Saving the activity generates an activity link to each of the Suspense items the user has assigned an amount.
