Activating Non-Billed Budgets

You can plug in an algorithm (of type SACR-AT) on the SA Creation system event on the Non-Billed Budget SA type to automatically activate the Non-Billed Budget (i.e. transition it from pending start to active status). If you don't use a SA Creation algorithm to activate the Non-Billed Budget, it is activated the next time the SA activation background process runs.

When a Non-Billed Budget is activated, you can perform special processing using an algorithm plugged in on the SA Activation system event on the Non-Billed Budget SA type. The special processing can be developed to do anything that you would like, for example you could:

• Create a customer contact that with an appropriate letter template can generate a letter to inform the customer of their payment amount and payment schedule.
• Initiate the creation of a payment coupon book for a customer.

The system comes supplied with a sample algorithm type (called SAAT-CC) that simply creates a customer contact to indicate that the Non-Billed Budget is activated.
