Analysis found that the message handling for 5B decrease transactions did not have the same record count control that the regular bill updates used. Since AITC tosses the unmanageable mail message aside, VAMC sites CS bill updates never get sent to Treasury. However, VistA updates the bills at the site which causes an unreconcilable situation with manual intervention needed by the Tier 3 support team, to reset the bills linked to the unhandled mail message transactions. Resolution: ----------- Modifications have been made to ensure that the same record count control used for updates is also used when handling the 5B updates from the batch run.
