ALLOW FEE BASIS TO SKIP FUND CONTROL POINT ACCESS CHECK ------------------------------------------------------- The Fee Basis software calls IFCAP routine PRCS58CC to post a credit amount to a 1358 authorization when a fee payment line item is flagged as rejected. This is permitted by Integration Control Registration (ICR) #831. IFCAP currently requires the user account to have access (as clerk or official) to the fund control point associated with the 1358 obligation. This patch modifies IFCAP routine PRCS58CC and ICR #831 to support an additional input parameter. If this optional input parameter is set IFCAP will skip the fund control point access check. Fee Basis will set the new parameter for payment line items that are flagged as rejected by Central Fee (Austin) using a new interface transaction. These transactions are processed by a background job where the user account is POSTMASTER. 2. DELETE OBSOLETE OPTIONS ----------------------- The 994 type code sheets will become obsolete when patch FB*3.5*132 is implemented by a site. Patch PRC*5.1*162 will remove the Fee Basis - IFCAP Code Sheet Menu [PRC FEE GECS MAIN MENU] from the Accounting Technician Menu [PRCFA ACCTG TECH]. The Fee Basis - IFCAP Code Sheet Menu and attached options (18 total) will be deleted by this patch.
