1.
- Using the Calendar drop-down field, select the specific calendar that will be employed to steer the frequency of the PRS clearance rule.
- Enter the Clearance period value into the field provided i.e. the Clearance period type multiplier. The Up and Down arrows are available to increment or decrement the value, as required.
- Using the Clearance period type drop-down field, select an appropriate frequency parameter for the PRS payment clearance period i.e. Minutes, Days, Weeks or Months
2.
- Choose an Effective from date for this PRS clearance rule i.e. the date on which it came into effect
3.
- Choose an Effective to date if the PRS clearance rule status is to be reviewed on a specific date or to capture a change of circumstances; a blank field means the PRS clearance rule will never expire.
- Click on Confirm. The new entry is displayed in the Payment Type Clearance Rules History summary table.
- Repeat steps 2 through 10 to define further PRS clearance period rules.
- Click on Save.
Tip
1 Where only a small number of parameter values are not required, activate the All tick box first and then deselect individual items from the full list, as required; the All tick box will be automatically removed once an item is deselected.
Note
1 System validation checks ensure that an individual payment type can only be linked to a single PRS clearance rule within the same effective period.
2 By way of example, if a three day clearance period was required, a Clearance period type of 'Days' would be selected, coinciding with a Clearance period of '3'.
3 The Effective from date defaults to the current system date and cannot be left blank.
