Special logic is also applied in the scrubber to determine whether a continuation account should be substituted for the account on a transaction. This logic is triggered when the account on the transaction has an expiration date or is closed.
When configuring Financials, institutions may choose to exclude transactions with certain origination codes and document types from the scrubbers application of the continuation account logic. For example, in most instances users want to exclude transactions generated by Financials documents from this process. Financials documents include a process that allows the document initiator to use the expired account or the account's continuation account.
If a transaction applies to an expired account and is not otherwise excluded, the Scrubber attempts to find a valid continuation account to substitute. Accounts are considered expired if their expiration date is less than or equal to the run date of the scrubber batch process. The expiration date of Contracts & Grants accounts may be extended by any number of days for the purpose of determining expiration for this process with the CG_ACCOUNT_EXPIRATION_EXTENSION_DAYS parameter.
AUTO FR:
Financials
makes ten attempts at finding a valid continuation account before reporting an
error. Valid in this instance means that the account exists in the Account table
and is not expired or closed. If a substitution is made, Financials adds
AUTO
FR and the original account number into the transaction
description for tracking purposes.
