EFT Adjustments (AR25.1)

Use EFT Adjustments (AR25.1) to make adjustments to EFT open items. From this form you can add, delete, postpone, or hold an open item from the current EFT processing cycle.

Adjustments are made because of a client-based issue (a disputed item is put on hold) or a credit management issue (wanting to hold a credit memo to prevent a negative payment from occurring).

Processing effect

UNIX/WIndows platforms: The release form action creates an FTTRANS (EFT transaction) record, deletes the temporary EFT work record, and updates the AR open item record. The EFT transaction record can later be used as an audit record to reconcile a closed open item record.

If the release involves a "delete" status record, the release deletes all FTWORK records (25 working records), the FTTRANS (EFT transaction) records for the open item, and initializes the three EFT tracking fields on the AROITEMS (open item) record. In other words, the delete form action erases the open item from any work in progress within EFT processing. To prevent an open item from being selected by EFT Notification Extract (AR100), use Expanded (AR42.4) to change the payment code to a non-EFT type before you process AR100.

Note: Other FTWORK records that are in a different state, such as Postponed, Held, etc. are deleted and appropriate FTTRANS records are created for those transactions.

IBM i platform: The release form action creates a DBARFTT (EFT transaction) record, deletes the temporary EFT work record, and updates the AR open item record. The EFT transaction record can later be used as an audit record to reconcile a closed open item record.

If the release involves a "delete" status record, the release deletes all DBARFTW records (25 working records), the DBARFTT (EFT transaction) records for the open item, and initializes the three EFT tracking fields on the DBARARO (open item) record. In other words, the delete form action erases the open item from any work in progress within EFT processing. To prevent an open item from being selected by EFT Notification Extract (AR100), use Expanded (AR42.4) to change the payment code to a non-EFT type before you process AR100.

Note: Other DBARFTW records that are in a different state, such as Postponed, Held, etc. are deleted and appropriate DBARFTT records are created for those transactions.
