$TXT Created by WINTERTON,STEVEN B at MNTVBB.FO-ALBANY.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Monday, 08/04/08 at 15:13 ============================================================================= Run Date: AUG 26, 2008 Designation: PRCA*4.5*257 Package : PRCA - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Priority: EMERGENCY Version : 4.5 SEQ #233 Status: Released Compliance Date: AUG 28, 2008 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)PRCA*4.5*173<<= must be installed BEFORE `PRCA*4.5*257' Subject: AR Changes for Deposit Ticket Number Category: - Enhancement () - Routine - Data Dictionary Description: ============ The Department of Treasury has changed the bank that processes credit card payments for VHA from Bank of America to Fifth Third Bank. This change will be effective on September 15, 2008. The Chief Business Office (CBO) has requested that this patch be released as an emergency patch to ensure that there is a 100% compliance prior to the September 15th cut-off date. This patch is being implemented in support of the "AR Changes for Deposit Ticket Number" project. This is an enhancement to the Accounts Receivable (AR) System to allow for 9 Digit Deposit Ticket Numbers and to prevent users from entering Deposit Ticket Numbers beginning with 669. This change is a result of a mandate by the Department of Treasury to use their contracted bank for all credit card processing. To prevent a loss in revenue for these credit card transactions, the VA must comply with the Treasury mandate and be able to accept the new deposit number schema from the Treasury contracted bank. This is a high priority project to prevent loss of revenue and ensure veteran satisfaction by continuing to allow them to pay their first party bills using credit cards This patch will modify the existing VistA AR application to do the following: a. Expand field length to 9 digits for deposit ticket number to accommodate new unique schema preventing duplicate deposit ticket numbers. Note: 9-digit deposit ticket numbers will only be allowed for payments processed through the AR Automatic Payment Processing Server. Manual entry will continue to be limited to 6 digits. b. Remove the ability for sites to create local deposit tickets that begin with the 669 prefix as it is reserved for electronic check deposit tickets. No changes were required to allow the 9-digit deposit ticket numbers to be displayed in the AR Options and Report, or for the interface which sends this data to the FMS system. Additional documentation on this project can be found in the project notebook for "AR Changes for Deposit Ticket Number" which is in the VA Office of Enterprise Development (OED) Project Repository (TSPR).
