Although officially listed as Infrastructure, the Application Parameter (APPCTRL) page is one that is part of general system configuration. Options on this page are set once and do not vary by year, fund, department, transaction, or other factors. The page is very generic in its design so that it can host many different types of options with the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. Of the many controls, those listed below directly relate to the general accounting area. Each is discussed in more detail later in the CGI Advantage - Financial Administration User Guide where functionality is detailed that uses the application parameter. Note: Any changes to records on this table should be followed by a bounce of all servers used for CGI Advantage Financial.

Agency Site ID (AGENCY_SITE_ID) |
A 2-byte Agency Site ID assigned to a state by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Fiscal Service (BFS) for processing Federal Payment Offsets (Reciprocal Offset Program). |

Agency Location Code (FED_AGCY_LOC_CD) |

Disable Payment Intercept Message (DIS_PYMNT_INTRCPT_MSG) |
Message A7174 (Payment may be intercepted) is issued on payment requests when the TIN/EIN of the vendor matches that of an active Intercept Request (INTR) record. This message can be disabled by setting this parameter to True. |
Evaluate Intercept by Debt Type (EVAL_INCT_DBTYP) |
If set to Yes, then the AD XML Creation Process job within the AD Chain reads records on the Allowable Payments for Intercepts by Debt Type (APIDT) page to restrict the offset of certain debt types and/or bank account to specific types of payments. The delivered value for this parameter is No, which indicates that the APIDT table is not read by the AD Chain and the offset of payment is not restricted by debt type. |
Office ID (FED_OFFC_ID) |
The 3-byte Office ID (that is, State Agency Identifier) will be set to the code “001” for the Automated Disbursement (AD) Payments and “002” for the Check Writer (CW) Payments. |
