The Check Search (CHKSRCH) page allows searching both Check Reconciliation (CHREC) and Paid Checks (PDCHK) pages for times when the status of a disbursement is not known. Transitions to both sources of data are available for a selected row. Which should be used is based on the status shown for the record.
Fields for External Disbursement ID and External Issue Date exist to track information from an outside system that took information from Advantage and produced checks with a different ID. When not in use, these fields should be hidden from the filter section and the grid.
