External Intercept

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.

From the Intercept Request Table, the Intercept Export Process sends the Debt records for Intercept to the External Payment System, which sends back the Intercepted Debt Records. Next, the Load Externally Intercepted Debt Batch Job loads the Debt records into the Externally Intercepted Debt Table. This leads to the ITXML Creation Job, which interfaces with the Intercept External Allocation Table, ADNT Table, Batch Parameters, Externally Intercepted Debt Table, Process Report, and IT Document XML file. The IT Document XML file leads to IT Upload and Submit Jobs with IT Documents in the Intercept Activity Table, Externally Intercepted Debt Table, Intercept Request Table, and Pending Intercept Payment Table
