A default value is automatically displayed in this field as set up for the 'End Date' in the Precedent Configuration (PRDW0100) page. However, you can manually change the default value displayed in this field, if required.

Note: If the Precedent Status is mapped to a System Status of ‘REVIEW’ and is changed to a status that is mapped to a System Precedent Status of ‘CLOSED’ or ‘REJECTED’, then the End Date is automatically set to the System Date.
This rule overrides the configuration set in PRDW0100. You cannot manually change the End Date if the Precedent Status is set to a status mapped to a System Status of CLOSED or REJECTED.

Table value:
PRECEDENT.END_DT

External Institution Name

The name of the external Institution.

Table value:
PRECEDENT.START_DT

Validity Period End Date

This date is used in conjunction with the Validity Period Start Date (above) to specify the period of time in which an external course and units specified for the Precedent are regarded as equivalent to an internal course and units.

A default value is automatically displayed this field as set up for the 'Validity Period End Date' in the Precedent Configuration (PRDW0100) page. However, you can manually change the default value displayed in this field, if required.
Note: You cannot manually change the date in this field if the Precedent Status is set to a status mapped to a System Status of CLOSED or REJECTED.

Table value:
PRECEDENT.VALIDITY_PERIOD_END_DT

Validity Period Start Date

This date is usually used in conjunction with the Validity Period End Date (but it can be used with the End Date or Next Review Date instead) to specify the period of time in which an external course and units specified for the Precedent are regarded as equivalent to an internal course and units.
This date is also used to determine the Admission Band data that is displayed in the Relationship step for Precedents with a Precedent Category of 'Admission Band to Internal Course' or 'External Course to Admission Band'.

This field is automatically populated with the System Date. However, you can change the date manually, if required.

You cannot manually change the date in this field if the Precedent Status is set to a status mapped to a System Status of CLOSED or REJECTED.

If you change the Validity Period Start Date after data has been created in the Relationship step for an 'Admission Band to Internal Course' Precedent, then you may need to update the Admission Band data in that step before proceeding. If this is the case, a warning message is displayed when you attempt to update the status of the Precedent to ACTIVE.

If you change the Validity Period Start Date after data has been created in the Relationship step for an 'External Course to Admission Band' Precedent, and this date is outside the AQF Level date range, then all Admission Band data in the Relationship step is automatically removed and you must re-enter it before proceeding.

Table value:
PRECEDENT.VALIDITY_PERIOD_START_DT
