To Create a new Application for an Applicant

• Go to SCHF1020
• Query for the Applicant.
• Click on the LOV for Scholarship Code and select the Scholarship Offering Instance
• Save

Rules/Notes:

Scholarship Offering Instances are available for selection if the current date is within the Application Start Date and Administrative End Dates determined for the Offering Instance, they are offered (in SCHF0510), and if the Scholarship Version Status is ACTIVE (in SCHF500). 

The list displayed by the Scholarship Code LOV includes Scholarship Period details and is not restricted by any Eligibility Details.

When an user creates a scholarship application, it is created with a system Application Status of SUBMITTED. The Submission Date will equal the current date.

Validations

• A Scholarship Version must be ACTIVE to create a Scholarship Application.
• When the application is created with Application Source of ADMIN, the application status must be mapped to system application status of SUBMITTED.
• Application, Outcome and Offer Response statuses that are closed cannot be selected.

To Process an Applicant's Application:

• Go to SCHF1010
• Go into Query mode
• Query using known field(s).
• Modify status values as required
• Save.

Rules/Notes:

The user can maintain an Application's statuses through various stages of the Application process:

• The Application Status indicates the current stage of processing for the application. 
• The Outcome value reflects whether an offer of the scholarship was made, whether the application was rejected, or whether the application is still being considered in future rounds. 
• The Offer Response is the response from the applicant to an offer of a scholarship. This is not updateable for applications with a COMPLETED Application Status or if the outcome status is not OFFERED. 

When the Outcome Status of OFFERED is recorded, the current date will be used to populate the Offered Date.  This Offered Date can be updated by the user.  The round in which the successful offer occurred will also be recorded for the application.

Application Statuses may also be affected by activities in other forms e.g. SCHF1050.

Validations:

• You cannot change any other details when the Application Status for the application is mapped to a system application status of COMPLETED.
• The Offer Response status can only be changed when Outcome Status is mapped to a system status of OFFERED.
• The Application Status must be mapped to a system application status of COMPLETED when system Outcome is OFFERED and system Offer Response not PENDING or system Outcome is REJECTED.
• The Offered Date cannot be set when the Outcome Status for the application is not mapped to a system outcome status of OFFERED.
• The Offered Date cannot be NULL when the Outcome Status for the application is mapped to a system outcome status of OFFERED.

To Defer an Applicant's Application:

• Go to SCHF1010
• Query for applicant
• Select Application
• Change the Offer Response status to DEFERRED
• Click on the Defer button
• Select the desired Scholarship Offering Option
• Click on the Continue button

Rules/Notes:

For some scholarships, the applicant is permitted to defer the uptake of the offer into a future scholarship period. The system Offer Response Status of DEFERRED is used to record this intention.  When the Defer button is pressed, the user needs to nominate which future period the applicant is going to take the scholarship offer in. 

When the Defer button is pressed, a list of permitted ‘defer to’ periods for the Scholarship Offering Instance will be displayed for the user to select from. Deferral periods for a Scholarship Offering Instance are defined in SCHF0395. When the user makes a selection, a process is executed that creates a new application for the 'deferred to' Scholarship Offering Instance.  This new scholarship application will be created with:

• An Application Source of DEFERRAL
• An Application Status of COMPLETED
• An Outcome Response Status of OFFERED
• An Offer Response Status of ACCEPTED
• A successful offer round of 0 (zero)
• No rank  
• The same total eligibility score

Validations

• If no permitted ‘defer to’ periods have been defined for the Scholarship Offering Instance, an error message is displayed informing the user that deferrals are not permitted for this Scholarship or that ‘defer to’ periods have not been defined for this Scholarship.  The Offer Response Status will then revert to the previously saved status.
• One and only one deferral period can be selected to create the Deferral scholarship application.
• If a DEFERRED Application Status is reversed, a warning will be displayed to the user informing them that they will need to consider the new application that was created for the applicant when the status was set to DEFERRED.

To Delete an Applicant's Application:

• Go to SCHF1010
• Go into Query mode
