External Intercept refers to the debts intercepted in an External Payment System. These debts can be either Internal Debts or External Debts. The External Payment system sends a file with the details of the intercepted Debt Record, the intercept amount and the date of Intercept. CGI Advantage reads the file sent by the External Payment system, stores the data from the file in an intermediary table called Externally Intercepted Debt table and generates the Intercept Transfer (IT) transaction to record the Intercept in the Advantage application. The following flow diagram explains the External Intercept process.
