Warrant Clearing Inference

  • The Warrant Clearing Inference (WCI) page allows sites to define rules to support inference of Disbursement Bank Account, warrant clearing fund, and warrant clearing sub fund to support the External Payment functionality.

  • This functionality is available for sites using the Clearing Fund Warrants model. The application prevents any records from being created or updated on WCI if the Disbursement Option field in the System Options (SOPT) page is anything other than Clearing Fund Warrant or Clearing Fund Warrant/EFT.
