The report can be run in immediate or batch mode after running FINJ6231, the Process Student HECS Payment Option job.

Report parameters allow for all values for all options to be selected (using the % option), or for selections to be made from some or all of the following:

• the creation date allows for selection of a particular run of the job FINJ6231, and refers to the actual run date, not the effective date for which the process was run
• a specific fee assessment period - normally the current fee period would be selected
• a particular fee category
• a single student (the full Person ID number must be typed in), and/or
• a specified course, the code of which is validated against the database.

Where appropriate, the job FINJ6231 automatically switches students' payment options from 'upfront with discount' (government HECS payment option 11) to 'deferred' (government option 10), or vice versa.

This report lists all students eligible for processing by the specified run of FINJ6231 and advises which student's options have been changed and which were not changed. A message either:

• gives the result of the change, or
• advises that a student's option has not been changed to deferred because their enrolment record is missing tax file details.

If the run of FINJ6231 also specified that outstanding HECS debts should be deferred, a further message indicates either:

• the amount deferred, or
• that the student's current payment option prevents deferral of the debt.
