The Automated Payment Hold batch process should be run prior to the Automated Disbursement (AD) Chain. The Automated Payment Hold batch process reads the records on the (PHLDM) table. Active payment hold requests will be sorted by Hold Level (excluding System Holds) and Priority. Automated Payment Hold tab has been added to the DISRQ page. Automated payment hold fields in the DISRQ Automated Payment Hold tab will identify the Hold Level and Hold Type with the highest priority for the Automated Vendor, Automated Award, Automated Payment Request, User Hold and Disbursement Management Hold levels. Current Hold Level and Current Hold Type will be selected from the top priority of the Hold Type and Hold Level fields that are populated on DISRQ. The Automated Payment Hold batch process will add a record to the Payment Hold Activity (PHLDA) table for the Current Hold Type and Current Hold Level when a record on DISRQ is found to be on hold. For detailed information on the Automated Payment Hold jobs (such as when to run, input, output, and process parameters) refer to the associated run sheet in the CGI Advantage Accounts Payable Run Sheets guide.
The AD Chain batch process reads the Automated Payment Hold fields on the DISRQ table when records are being selected for disbursement. If the Current Hold Type and Current Hold Level fields are populated and the Allow Bypass Requests field is set to No, the undisbursed payment request will be excluded from disbursement and the System Hold field will be set to True and the System Hold Reason set to Automated Payment Hold. If the Current Hold Type and Current Hold Level fields are populated and the Allow Bypass Requests field is set to Yes, the undisbursed payment request will be selected for disbursement, provided no System Hold is received (a System Hold is set when an Accounting Line fails the AD Chain edits like the Vendor is found to be on hold or Budget Amounts are exceeded).
For detailed information on the AD Chain job (such as when to run, input, output, and process parameters) refer to the associated run sheet in the CGI Advantage Accounts Payable Run Sheets guide.
