Processing Mode

Use this processing option to specify whether the system processes records in proof or final mode. When you choose proof mode, the system creates a report, but does not update any tables.When you choose final mode, the system creates a report and writes employee override records to the Employee Offer and Coverage Setup (F08117) table.

1095-C Line Number

Use this processing option to specify the code that indicates the line number to use when generating employee override records in the Employee Offer and Coverage Setup (F08117) table.

Note: When you leave this option blank or when you enter a value of *ALL, the system sets the ACA 1095-C Line Number to *ALL and the processing option values for Override Offer of Coverage Code, Override Lowest Cost Monthly Premium, and Override Safe Harbor Code will all be used when generating employee override records in the Employee Offer and Coverage Setup (F08117) table. When you enter a specific line number, such as Line 14, the system uses only the corresponding processing option (for example, Override Offer of Coverage Code) to populate its corresponding column when generating employee override records in the Employee Offer and Coverage Setup (F08117) table.
