Using the Claim Reconciliation - Claim Details page, you can handle exceptions that occur against claim reconciliation. You can change the reconciliation status on this page and the system performs additional processing depending on what you change the status to. This table illustrates the exception processing that can occur when you change the reconciliation status:

Exception Process to Correct

Current Reconciliation Status

Changed to Reconciliation Status

Additional System Processing

Total claim collected amount against an adjustment voucher or against a pending item that was sent to PeopleSoft Receivables is less than the under tolerance amount, or the total claim collected amount is greater than the over tolerance amount and the claims manager wants to stop further reconciliation processing.

Exception

Reconciled

When this status is changed, the system creates an adjustment claim settlement entry to clear the residual amount and then, depending on the settlement method, generates an adjustment voucher in PeopleSoft Payables or a pending item in PeopleSoft Receivables.

Also, the claim status is changed from Partially Paid to Paid.

Use the Claim Reconciliation - Claim Details page (VRBT_CLAIM_RECON) to view claim reconciliation details and maintain claim payment exceptions.

Field or Control

Description

Accounting Date

The accounting date appears by default as the claim date. You can override it. Select another accounting date if you want to record all the subsequent transactions that are sent to PeopleSoft Payables or PeopleSoft Receivables with this accounting date.

Overriding the accounting date is useful in cases in which the claim life cycle is long and spans multiple accounting periods. For example, assume that you generate a claim in a particular accounting period, but due to some disputes with the supplier, you can make the decision to close outstanding remaining claim amounts only in subsequent accounting periods (previous accounting period might already be closed). Overriding the accounting date enables you to record the adjustment in the current accounting period.

Claim Status

Displays the current claim status. Statuses are Open, Approved, Deferred, Pending Payment, Partially Paid, and Paid.

Reconciliation Status

The current reconciliation status appears. Statuses are Exception, Pending, Reconciled, and To Be Reconciled.

Change this status to handle claim payment exceptions. You can change the status from Exception to either Reconciled or To Be Reconciled.
