Fee Encumbrances can be applied to a student within the Student Finance Subsystem for non-payment or underpayment of fees. Effects of an Encumbrance may range from having results blocked to a withdrawal of all services by the institution. Pending Fee Encumbrances are created for students automatically by the job Process Overdue Payment Penalties (FINJ6230) when it detects outstanding debts for Fee Liabilities. This form allows a user to query a student's record and either confirm that such an Encumbrance should be applied or cancel it. The form only allows action to be decided on pending Encumbrances - all work on Encumbrances once they have been applied must be undertaken in the Enrolments Subsystem. Accordingly, buttons in this form allow easy access to relevant forms in Enrolments. For Fee Encumbrances, lamps displayed in the current form indicate the status of the Encumbrance. For instance, it is possible to see in this form that an Encumbrance has been expired or deleted in Enrolments. In some cases, the effects designated for an Encumbrance require that some action be taken before the Encumbrance can be applied. For example, one penalty is to revoke the student's access to all institution services. A required pre-condition of this effect is that all the student's existing Course Attempts are discontinued. This must be done in the Enrolments Subsystem before returning to this form to confirm the Fee Encumbrance. |

The remaining fields are concerned with the authorisation of a pending Fee Encumbrance, which can be confirmed or cancelled as follows:
Note: Authoriser details must be entered when a Fee Encumbrance is cancelled. Some Encumbrances require that a Student's Enrolment be discontinued. A message advises this. Use the Enrolment Details button for direct access to the Enrolments form, ENRF3000, to perform the required actions. The Person Encumbrance button gives direct access in context to form ENRF6310 to maintain Encumbrances. |
Rules/Notes: Person and course details are for information only. A lamp is displayed if a fee is sponsored, since administrators may wish not to apply an Encumbrance against the student in this situation. The same Fee Type may be displayed more than once if two or more pending Fee Encumbrance Types have been recorded against the fee because
Fee Encumbrance Statuses equate to three System Statuses for Fee Encumbrances: WAIT APRVL, APPLIED or CANCELLED. When a Fee Encumbrance has been applied, a lamp indicates that the Encumbrance is ACTIVE. If the Encumbrance is EXPIRED or DELETED in the form Maintain Basic Person Encumbrance Detail (ENRF6310), lamps in this form reflect such conditions. |
